Aymara, The: A Case Study in Social Stratification

Synopsis
In Northern Bolivia, where the heterogeneous population is socially and economically stratified, the inequalities of a sharp class division between the Spanish-speaking mestizos and the subordinate Aymara Indians are obvious. Typical of much of Latin America, the class system is apparent not only in the fields, but also in religious practices, the celebratory fiestas, and in the classroom.
