| Publisher Description: The pages of this "Biographical Anthology of Governing Inkarri," sub called "The President & The Myth of Inkarri," appeared together with the anthological series "Myths and Legends in Bolivian Literature." It was conceived previously in an attempt to gather mythical and legendary stories that occurred in the territory of Bolivia, written by various authors and preferably Bolivians. Whose anthological elaboration brought with it the recognition and analysis of a mythological reference with literary sustenance known as "The Inkarri myth." Which led us to an investigation of biographical aspect of the inkarri rulers. Living in a region of South America, where the Andean narrative richness is everywhere, this book was inevitable. On the one hand, there is the rich heritage of popular culture, an inexhaustible source of myths, such as the "Myth of Inkarri." Which is one of the manifestations of oral tradition that have been transmitted in the spaces of the community and family. Rescued in a written production with character of mythological and historical analysis by the writer Franklin Pease G. Y., an initial source of reference to expose the Inkarri Myth. On the other hand, there is that information written in the form of biography, which many media have conceived, whether with informative or critical intentions, around the current head of the Bolivian state. Who does not stop excelling with his characteristic indigenous ancestry. That has come to add to the biography of previous and outstanding inkarri rulers. Those that with a certain literary and historical quality, as for their biographical theme, have reached meaning and significance for readers and social researchers. And although this book does not pretend to be an impeccable biography of the Bolivian head of state, nor of the previous inkarri rulers of the Tahuantinsuyo, nor is it a prophetic affirmation of the myths and legends of the Andean heart of South America. Yes, an attempt has been made to reconcile a long-awaited hope for indigenous and highland freedom embodied in a myth, with a current and motivating reality for millions of Bolivians. |
