description: "Ricardo Valderrama Fernández was a Peruvian anthropologist, scholar, and politician. Valderrama spent more than 40 years studying the lives of the Indigenous peoples of the Andes region surrounding Cusco. In 1977, he released his first book, \"Gregorio Condori Mamani: An Autobiography\", co-authored with his wife, anthropologist Carmen Escalante. Their book, which has been translated into seven languages, is considered a landmark in the field of Peruvian anthropology, as it focused on modern-day individuals within the lower classes of society."
