Excerpt from Introduction: "The textile tradition of highland Bolivia is a rich and highly developed art with roots reaching back to pre-colombian times. Yet this remarkable tradition has gone largely unrecognized outside of the Bolivian rural regions where weaving is still the most important form of creative expression."
