I must be missing something. Michael, can you explain why the emergence of the left has inspired interest in the indigenous psychology of time and space? Is there some non-Eurocentric connection between political leanings and concepts of time and space?
You are not missing anything,but it would help to have some changes in latitudes and attitudes.Please note that in collectivist cultures,like those in the Amercas,politics,religion,and other cultural factors are connected.One can not look at physical events and miniaturize the psychology.In the case of Evo Morales,a coca farmer- and an occupation of the Indigenous Aymara indians,the lesson learned here is that the collective consciousness When Morales was inaugurated as prez,there was a ceremony for him in Aymara land and although it was a ceremony embedded in the past,there was a sense that the past had moved forward in time. Ecuador is inbteresting because they are going to address the issue of ethnic discrimination. But iut is probably in Peru that the cpeer-centric movement is bveing reinforced by the Humala patriarchs. thyey favor power to the indigenous and their descendants.A whole psychology has emerged looking at class variables. Let me suggest the following works:Edward T.Hall (Hidden dimension) and a text titled The social psychology of time).
