Giving Children the Tools to Participate: a Case for the Intercultural Bilingual Classroom in Peru GIVING CHILDREN THE TOOLS TO PARTICIPATE: A CASE FOR THE INTERCULTURAL BILINGUAL CLASSROOM IN PERU BY REBECCA E. LINARES THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Latin American Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Bekisizwe S. Ndimande ii Abstract This thesis explores Educación Intercultural Bilingüe, or Intercultural Bilingual Education (EIB), in Peru with arguments based on ethnographic research conducted by the author between May and August of 2011 in Laborpampa, Peru. Using this primary data, as well as supplemental texts, this thesis argues that native Quechua-speaking, primary students in Peru who learn in an effectively organized, intercultural, bilingual educational setting are taught in a language and cultural context that provides them with the necessary skills to be active participants in their communities while still providing them with the knowledge and language skills needed to participate as active participants on a national level as well. In the analysis, the reader will see that Indigenous people’s right to an education in their native language is in fact part of a larger social movement to better include and value Indigenous people for their role in the nation’s cultural identity, as we will see that language rights are just a small component in a larger assemblage of rights for minority peoples. This thesis begins by detailing the historical context of the Quechua language in Peru, followed by a brief history of the Intercultural Bilingual Education Model in Peru. It then details how the program is implemented and offers an analysis of its effectiveness. Though Intercultural Bilingual Education faces many challenges in its future, it has shown great promise for creating a more unified, equitable, and educated society and nation. Keywords: Peru; Quechua; Bilingualism; Intercultural Bilingual Education iii Dedication This thesis is humbly dedicated to all the teachers, in Peru and around the world, who believe so strongly that children come to classrooms full of knowledge, and that they deserve to be educated and appreciated in their native language. As the children in Peru sang,“Dame la mano con mucho amor, somos el espíritu de una patria major (give me your hand with lots of love, we are the spirit of a better homeland).” iv Acknowledgements I would like to first thank Profesora Vilma for opening her classroom to me and for treating me as a friend; this project would have never happened without her initial trust in me. I would secondly like to thank my adviser, Dr. Bekisizwe Ndimande, for guiding me, encouraging me, and believing in the work we do as advocates of intercultural bilingual education. I would also like to thank my Quechua professor in Peru, Dr. Felix Julca Guerrero, for his guidance and contribution to education in Peru. Lastly, immense thanks to the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, specifically the Tinker Field Research Fellowship 2011 Committee, for funding this research; without the Center’s support this project would have never happened. v Table of Contents Chapter One: An Introduction to Peru and Intercultural Bilingual Education

2006, I remember casually watching the Congressional Oath Ceremony on a small black and white television, hardly paying much attention. As I poured myself a glass of Inca Kola, I remember my surprise when I heard a language I did not understand interrupt the usual Spanish. I turned to the television to see Hilaria Supa, an Indigenous Congresswoman representing the Department of Cusco, attempting to take her Congressional Oath in Quechua. Congresswoman Supa caused quite a stir, visibly irritating the government officials who insisted she take the oath in Spanish. After several minutes of tense, inaudible dialogue between officials and Supa, she finally relented and recited her oath in Spanish. While on the surface it might not seem so, language is political and has long been recognized as one of the most important tools for sustaining the culture and identity of a community or nation. Simply defined, language is just a set of sentences, each finite in length and constructed out of a finite set of elements, that allows us to communicate (Chomsky, 1957). However, language is much more than that; it has become not only a mode of communicating and sharing information, but also deeply connected to how individuals and populations identify themselves socially, politically, and culturally. According to Teresa McCarty (2011), only by shifting our understanding of the technicalities of language per se, to the role of language in living, breathing communities can we go beyond this strict understanding of language to a more

Osip Mandelstam (1971: 50) N The Language of the Inka since the European Invasion (1991), I argued that the descendants of the Inkas, modern Southern Peruvian Quechua speak- Iers, are “a nation surrounded,” to use a phrase from the Peruvian novelist José María Arguedas (1968: 296), in two senses: first and more obviously, South- ern Peruvian Quechuas live in an institutional world mediated by the language of their conquerors, Spanish. The conquistadores brought along not only priests and interpreters but a public notary whose job it was to record the legal proto- cols of conquest. From that moment on, native Andeans became the objects of encompassing discourses that have not only shaped colonial and national poli- cies toward the native peoples but, in the legal and commercial arenas, also determined the fates of individual households and communities. For example, the judicial proceedings through which native lands passed into the possession of Spanish colonists were held in Spanish, and the archives are rife with cases in which even the notices of the proceedings were served on native Andean com- munities in Spanish.

Ranging from the earliest cities in the Americas to Inca metropolises, millennia of urban human history along the Andes have left large and striking sites scattered across the country. But cities and monuments do not exist in solitude. Peru’s ancient sites are connected by a vast circulatory system of roads that connected every corner of the country, and thousands of square miles beyond its current borders. The Inca road system, or Qhapaq Ñan, is particularly famous; thousands of miles of trails linked the empire from modern- day Colombia to central Chile, crossing some of the world’s tallest mountain ranges and driest deserts. The Inca state recognized the importance of its road system, and dotted the trails with rest stops, granaries, and religious shrines. Inca roads even served directly religious purposes in pilgrimages and a system of ritual pathways that divided the empire (Ogburn 2010). This project contributes to scholarly knowledge about the Inca and Pre-Hispanic Andean civilizations by studying the roads which stitched together the Inca state.

  • La Cosmología En El Dibujo Del Altar Del Quri Kancha Según Don Joan
    La cosmología en el dibujo del altar del Quri Kancha según don Joan de Santa Cruz Pachacuti Yamqui Salca Maygua Rita Fink Se suele adscribir al dibujo del altar de Quri Kancha una estructura bipartita (dos campos separados por un eje vertical), la cual refleja la oposición andina de hanan-hurin o alternativamente la simetría de los altares eclesiásticos. El presente trabajo identifica los elementos del dibujo y analiza las parejas que ellos componen, examinando el simbolismo de cada una de ellas y las interrelaciones de sus componentes en varias fuentes de los siglos XVI-XX. El mundo dibujado está organizado según el principio andino de hanan-hurin aplicado en dos dimensiones, la horizontal y la vertical. Dos ejes, hanan y hurin, dividen el espacio en cuatro campos distintos. Los campos inferiores están organizados de manera inversa con respecto al espacio superior. Semejantes estructuras cuatripartitas se encuentran en otras representaciones espacio-temporales andinas. The structure of the drawing of the Quri Kancha altar has been described as dual, reflecting either the Andean hanan-hurin complementarity or the symmetry of Christian church altars. Present study identifies the elements presented in the drawing and analyses the couples which they comprise, demonstrating the symbolism of each couple and the hanan-hurin relations within them, as evident in XVI-XX century sources. The world presented in the drawing of the Quri Kancha altar is organized according to the Andean hanan-hurin principle applied on two-dimensional scale (horizontal and vertical). Two axes - hanan and hurin - divide the space into 4 distinct fields. The lower fields are inverted relative to the hanan space above.

  • La Reconstitución De La Nación Sora: Propuesta Para La Refundación Del País Ayllus De Cochabamba “Bolivia Se Fundó Sobre
    La Reconstitución de la Nación Sora: propuesta para la refundación del país Ayllus de Cochabamba “Bolivia se fundó sobre la injusticia. La Constitución Política de 1826 excluyó al noventa por ciento de sus habitantes, y Bolivia siguió siendo dependiente, sometida, su territorio fue descuartizado y sus riquezas sirvieron para el disfrute de una pequeña elite aliada a los intereses extranjeros. Ahora por primera vez, las mayorías nacionales son protagonistas de su historia. Este es un año de cambio, el Pachakuti, el Jach’a uru están llegando con nuestra Revolución Democrática y Cultural. La Asamblea Constituyente debe servir para que los pobres de las ciudades, los indígenas, los obreros, los campesinos, los oprimidos y los excluidos de siempre, las clases medias, los intelectuales, los policías, militares y empresarios patriotas podamos refundar nuestra Bolivia” (Evo Morales Ayma, Presidente Constitucional de la República de Bolivia, mayo 2006) La historia de los ayllus en lo que hoy es el departamento de Cochabamba es la historia de la colonización. La exaltación de una supuesta identidad mestiza, producto de la mezcla entre los contingentes invasores españoles y los pueblos nativos asentados en los valles de la antigua Qhuchapampa, ha servido para encubrir un sistemático proceso de negación de la cultura, lengua, identidad, derechos y territorio de ayllus, markas y suyus. Fue la institucionalidad del ayllu que permitió enfrentar exitosamente a la colonización. El gobierno de sus mallkus, como fue el caso de Don Marcos Mamani, cacique de Kirkiyawi, frenó la expansión del latifundio. Desde el bastión de Kirkiyawi los ayllus procedieron a desplegar una acción de reconstitución que ha conllevado el cumplimiento de la vieja máxima qhip ñawi , que se ha expresado en un esfuerzo de reconstitución de la memoria y la identidad histórica.

  • Late-Horizon Packaging: the Inca, Aribalos, and Packaging Functions
    LATE-HORIZON PACKAGING: THE INCA, ARIBALOS, AND PACKAGING FUNCTIONS By Zachary Eben Frenzel A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Packaging – Master of Science 2017 ABSTRACT LATE-HORIZON PACKAGING: THE INCA, ARIBALOS, AND PACKAGING FUNCTIONS By Zachary Eben Frenzel Historically, publications in the field of packaging science have relied on Western supply chains and their use of wheel, boat and market driven exchange to analyze packaging. To provide additional perspective, an in-depth study of the Late-Horizon Andes Mountains and the Inca Empire (roughly 1438 to 1533 AD), the region’s dominant power during this time, was performed because it lacked substantial wheel, boat and market driven exchange while still engaging extensively in the movement of goods. Chapter 2 provides a comparison of native packaging before and after Spanish influence in the region, establishing evidence that shifts in packaging are observable with changes in culture. Chapter 3 uses packaging attribute models and packaging value chain analysis to interpret the impact of a package type, aríbalos, on the Late Horizon Andes, and demonstrate packaging’s impact across cultures. Chapter 4 presents a closer examination of aríbalos providing data that the design of aríbalos were engineered for user comfort and modeling their mass and circumference. The research indicates the Inca Empire’s packaging solutions were optimized to reduce economic costs of packaging construction while increasing efficiency in transportation. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The creation of the following research is the result of years of education, assistance, and patience of those who I have been fortunate enough to have been supported by.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Inca Strategies of Conquest and Control: Toward a Comprehensive Model of Pre-Modern Imperial Administration on the South-Central Coast of Peru A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Archaeology by Kevin Bassett Hill 2020 © Copyright by Kevin Bassett Hill 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Inca Strategies of Conquest and Control: Toward a Comprehensive Model of Pre-Modern Imperial Administration on the South-Central Coast of Peru by Kevin Bassett Hill Doctor of Philosophy in Archaeology University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Charles S. Stanish, Chair This dissertation uses regional archaeological settlement data to develop a model of Inca imperialism along the south-central Peruvian coast during the terminal decades of the fifteenth century CE. A close investigation of lower and middle valley of Cañete, home to the Late Intermediate Period (c. 1100-1450 CE) societies, Huarco and Lunahuaná, along with survey data from the neighboring valley, Chincha, provide both the foundation and impetus for the regional model. The great disparity between the abundance of Late Horizon (1450-1532 CE) Inca ii architecture and artifacts in middle valley Cañete and the near absence of this evidence in the middle valley of Chincha is best explained within the context of the relationship between the lower and middle areas of each valley and a systematic examination of the south-central coast region as a whole. This regional overview presents the Late Intermediate Period sociopolitical and cultural context and what archaeology and ethnohistory reveals about how the Inca came to control each valley.
