Andean Meltdown delves into the profound impact of climate change and its consequences on Peru's glaciers, exerting a significant influence on the country's water supply and reshaping Andean society and culture in unprecedented manners. Drawing upon forty years of extensive research, deep-rooted relationships, and meaningful engagement with communities in Peru, Karsten Paerregaard offers an ethnographic exploration of Andean ritual practices and performances within the context of a changing climate. Through meticulous documentation of the responses of Andean peoples to the rapid retreat of glaciers and the urgent scarcity of water, Paerregaard examines the intricate interplay between climate change, environmental, social, and political transformations. This groundbreaking contribution to cultural anthropology and environmental humanities challenges prevailing theoretical frameworks regarding the culture-nature nexus and presents a fresh perspective on the understanding of Andean peoples' role as active agents in the evolving dynamics between humans and nonhumans.
