Summary "Mitos, supersticiones y supervivencias populares de Bolivia" by M. Rigoberto Paredes is a scholarly work written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the rich tapestry of myths, superstitions, and cultural survival among the indigenous peoples of Bolivia, particularly focusing on Aymara and Quechua communities. Through meticulous observation and research, Paredes aims to document and analyze these elements, providing insight into the psychological and sociological aspects of Bolivian folklore. The opening of the text introduces the author’s dedication to studying and preserving the folklore of Bolivia, emphasizing its significance. It begins with a prologue praising Paredes’ work and its groundbreaking nature, as it is noted to be the first serious study conducted by a Bolivian regarding indigenous beliefs. The text suggests that these superstitions and myths are not only remnants of a bygone era but are actively present in the lives of the people, influencing their culture and practices. The opening sets the stage for a detailed exploration of how indigenous beliefs weave into the daily lives, spirituality, and identity of Bolivian society, highlighting the persistence and adaptability of these traditions even amidst external influences.
