People of Substance
People of Substance is a lively, accessible ethnography of a complex indigenous group of people of the Colombian Amazon who call themselves ‘People of the Center. ’ Carlos David Londoño Sulkin examines this group's understandings and practices relating to selfhood, social organization, livelihood, and symbolism. Through this, he makes a strong case for increased anthropological attention to morality and ethics. Londoño Sulkin explains a number of key issues and debates in Amazonian anthropology with great clarity, making People of Substance a useful text for students. At the same time, it is theoretically sophisticated, combining innovative research methods with sound analysis of empirically gathered material. Contributing both to accounts of regional history and to discussions on anthropology and history, People of Substance offers valuable engagement with concepts of structure, agency, and freedom.
Joyas facsimilares
"El presente libro, Joyas facsimilares: manuscritos e iluminados que presenta la Biblioteca tiene el propósito de hacer conocer a legos y profanos una muestra significativa de esa riqueza patrimonial con una firme certidumbre: la Sala Belisario Betancur C. es un “nuevo lugar de fantasmas”. Libros que nos hablan de libros, de conocimientos eruditos que tuvieron su momento de verdad; de épocas que nos precedieron y que a veces parecen irreales y fantasmagóricas. Libros que por su colorido, estilos y formas más parecen joyas de edición. En este libro se presenta una selección de 50 obras representativas de la Colección Belisario Betancur, reseñados por docentes de la Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana."--Page 15.

Yet traditional histories laud him as a prolific Indigenous sculptor in eighteenth-century Quito who created exquisite polychrome figures and became a national artistic icon.
