Summary
| Description |
English: This photo has been taken from Guaqui, a village on the shores of Lake Titicaca in La Paz, Bolivia. The title "Orillas de bronce del Titicaca" makes reference to a book named "Raza de bronce" of Alcides Arguedas which described how native people from highlands and valleys, like the "altiplano", lived during colonialism, despite the extreme conditions of their environment. Native people used to be slaved and the scarce food because of the extreme conditions of the "altiplano" made them to struggle and work hard to find it, especially in winter when temperatures are too low and solar radiation is the highest that makes the landscapes look "Bronze" like the skin color of native people, plants and other animals.
Español: Esta foto fue tomada en Guaqui, un pueblo a orillas del lago Titicaca en La Paz, Bolivia. El título "Orillas de bronce del Titicaca" hace referencia al libro "Raza de bronce" de Alcides Arguedas que describe cómo los nativos de las tierras altas y valles, como el "altiplano", vivieron durante el colonialismo, a pesar de las condiciones extremas de su entorno. Las personas nativas eran esclavizadas y la escasa producción de alimenos debido a las condiciones extremas del "altiplano" hacieron que esta gente trabaje más y ponga más esfuerzo para alimentarse, especialmente en invierno cuando las temperaturas son muy bajas y la radiación solar es la más alta, que hace que los paisajes se vean "Bronce" como el color de piel de los nativos, sus plantas y otros animales. |
