Quechua at NYU

Drawing on 25 years of research, professor Odi Gonzales presents his new book Nación Anti. Ensayos de Antropología Lingüística Andina. Lenguaje y Pensamiento Quechua. Traducción Cultural y Resistencia.

Join CLACS and Runasimi Outreach Collective for the NYC book book launch of Nación Anti on April 27 at 7:00pm. Made up of 23 essays, the book analyzes Quechua language-thought correlation. Joining the event is anthropologist Bruce Mannheim (University of Michigan), a rigorous scholar of the Andean world. The book launch also closes the first day of the CLACPI Indigenous Film Showcase.

This event will take place primarily in Spanish and is open to the public. RSVP: nacionanti.eventbrite.com.

Did you know that the "Autobiografía de Gregorio Condori y Asunta Quispe" is probably the most translated and studied Peruvian book in the world, and the least read in the Andean region?

This Spring 2023 course taught by Odi Gonzales will be focused on the analysis and interpretation of an oral testimony that was collected in Quechua, transcribed with the Spanish alphabet and translated into Spanish and English.

Taught in English, this course is open to all graduate students, especially students from area programs in the Inter-University Doctoral Consortium. Advanced undergraduates can apply for departmental permission to register.

Please reach out to [email protected] for more information.

Next week on Monday, November 7, you're invited to a screening of the short film "Following the Thread" featuring the director Kathy Brew and Quechua language instructor Odi Gonzales. This event is co-sponsored by Consulado General del Perú en Nueva York.

Working Group on Racisms in Comparative Perspective: "Thinking and journaling about race and identity in the U.S while being a cholo from Perú" by Marco Avilés

"Journaling about daily life after moving to the US has helped me reflect about the connections and disconnections between how we think, and talk about race and identity both in the US and in Latin America. Sharing personal memories and observations on not being white on both sides of the border, in this talk I will discuss how writing about this dual experience feeds my literary and academic work."

Marco Avilés is a Quechua-Peruvian writer and journalist. His recent work explores race and racism across the Americas. He is the author of three non-fiction books: Día de visita, a reportage about love in a women’s prison in Lima; De dónde venimos los cholos, an exploration on identity and migration in the Andes and Amazonia; and No soy tu cholo, a personal essay on being brown.
