Many
years ago our brother Alfredo Mires Ortiz founded the Campesino
Encyclopedia Project within our Network.
"The
rescue of community knowledge," says Alfredo, "not
only allowed us to reveal the immense fortune that animates us, but
also the prodigious root of this tree that grounds us. Because we are
not recovering the past, but the future. It is our own tomorrow that
they have kidnapped from us: it is this journey that we are
reconquering."
The
Encyclopedia, as a thematic collection, reached volume 20, apart from
the dozens of books with oral tradition that have been published. But
it started again a couple of years ago, renewed and sharpened, and
volume 21 has just come out of the press: "Water you should drink - Sayings and Phrases in the Cajamarcan tradition." (Original title: "Agua que sí has de beber – Dichos y refranes en la tradición cajamarquina").
These
births bring us to life!
Soon
we will announce the release date.
