The anthropology and education and interculturality research group invite everyone to attend the presentation of the book titled: “La danza de la Yumbada en el barrio la Magdalena”, written by professor Freddy Simbaña.

The book is an analysis on Yumbada, a ritual that was carried out every year in the “Magdalena” neighborhood located in the south of Quito. The “Yumbada” is an indigenous and mestizo dance that represents the conception of the world, human beings, time and space.

The book emerges from problems that are related to modernity and the conception of indigenous communities. It presents questions and suggests answers based on symbolic, economic and urban anthropology to understand Latin America.
