Download or read book El llamado del jaguar written by Martín Von Hildebrand and published by DEBATE. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las memorias del etnólogo Martín von Hildebrand, quien ha dedicado su vida a trabajar por las comunidades indígenas del Amazonas, sus derechos y la conservación de sus territorios. MARTIN VON HILDEBRAND es reconocido a nivel mundial por su activismo en pro de la Amazonia y sus grupos indígenas, labor por la que ha sido merecedor de varios premios nacionales e internacionales, entre otros, el Right Livelihood Award, conocido como el Premio Nobel Alternativo. Este compromiso con las comunidades amazónicas se re monta a sus primeros años como antropólogo en la década del setenta, cuan do fue testigo de los estragos de las caucherías y las misiones evangelizadoras. Desde entonces ha trabajado de forma incansable para garantizar a los indígenas sus derechos ancestrales a la tierra y a ser reivindicados como colectividades con una organización social, política y cultural propia, dignas de ejercer un gobierno autónomo como pueblos. Esta visión ha sido la esencia que ha orientado las acciones de alguien que se identifica más como un facilitador que un protagonista, pero sin quien la historia de los pueblos indígenas amazónicos de Colombia sería muy distinta. El llamado del jaguar es un libro de memorias fuera de lo común. Relata de forma vívida la travesía del autor por el Amazonas, mezclada con una especie de etnografía sin precedentes en la que el lector quedará atrapado por los mitos y descripciones de las comunidades, como si estuviera en medio de la selva, en medio del mambeadero, acogido por la gran maloca del conocimiento indígena. "Lo que preocupa a Martin no es lo tradicional en oposición a lo moderno, sino los derechos de los pueblos libres a elegir los componentes de sus vidas. No tiene ningún interés en secuestrar a los pueblos indígenas en la selva, para congelarlos en el tiempo como si fuesen una suerte de especímenes de museo. Tras haber vivido y trabajado entre ellos duran te casi cincuenta años, conoce a los tanimuka, yucuna, letuama y maku na como amigos y parientes; hombres y mujeres comunes, complejos e inspiradores, con todos los desafíos y contradicciones que se encuentran en cualquier comunidad, en cualquier parte del mundo". Del prólogo de Wade Davis
Book Synopsis Oil in the Soil by : Pamela L. Martin
Download or read book Oil in the Soil written by Pamela L. Martin and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paradise may have been found in the Western Amazon, but it is on the brink of destruction. Oil in the Soil analyzes the campaign to save the Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini (ITT) block of Yasuní National Park in Ecuador's Amazon and the global networks that have resulted in one of the world's most innovative plans to save the Amazon and other biodiverse places on our planet. Pamela L. Martin examines the path-breaking global environmental governance mechanisms that have resulted from the transnational networks of the Yasuní-ITT campaign and their implications for replication around the world. The analysis of these networks reveals new dynamics of mobilization from the South, which may impact the future of global environmental negotiations. Martin also examines the alternative norms behind the initiative in the words of governmental and non-governmental actors. Such normative changes demonstrate the global struggles of the resource-dependent poor and provide insights toward new pathways of sustainable development for the planet.
Book Synopsis 'No duermas, hay serpientes' by : Daniel L. Everett
Download or read book 'No duermas, hay serpientes' written by Daniel L. Everett and published by Turner. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un misionero y filólogo aterriza en mitad de la jungla amazónica con dos objetivos: va a aprender el endiablado idioma de esa tribu casi virgen, los pirahã, a los que nadie ha conseguido entender, ni enseñar otras lenguas. Y va a traducir para ellos la Biblia y a descubrirles la fe. Así empieza una de las aventuras lingüísticas más curiosas de las que se tienen noticia: intentando aprender el idioma de los pirahã, viviendo entre ellos, tratando de desentrañar su vida y su cultura, al narrador se le caen nada menos que las tesis de Chomsky, eso de que existe una "gramática innata" para todos los seres humanos. Los pirahã no usan los números, no hablan en pasado ni en futuro, sus frases nunca tienen más de dos verbos y no relatan "tradiciones": ni dioses, ni mitos, ni los orígenes del universo. Por no tener, no tienen ni colores. Y en vez de buenas noches, dicen "no duermas, hay serpientes". Sin embargo, Everett, con su cuaderno y su grabadora, aprende pirahã, y al aprender la lengua aprende la cultura. Lo que sucede después (¿acaban todos leyendo la Biblia?) ya hay que leerlo.

Book Synopsis Oil, Revolution, and Indigenous Citizenship in Ecuadorian Amazonia by : Flora Lu
Download or read book Oil, Revolution, and Indigenous Citizenship in Ecuadorian Amazonia written by Flora Lu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the political ecology of the Ecuadorian petro-state since the turn of the century and contextualizes state-civil society relations in contemporary Ecuador to produce an analysis of oil and Revolution in twenty-first century Latin America. Ecuador’s recent history is marked by changes in state-citizen relations: the election of political firebrand, Rafael Correa; a new constitution recognizing the value of pluriculturality and nature’s rights; and new rules for distributing state oil revenues. One of the most emblematic projects at this time is the Correa administration’s Revolución Ciudadana, an oil-funded project of social investment and infrastructural development that claims to blaze a responsible and responsive path towards wellbeing for all Ecuadorians. The contributors to this book examine the key interventions of the recent political revolution—the investment of oil revenues into public works in Amazonia and across Ecuador; an initiative to keep oil underground; and the protection of the country’s most marginalized peoples—to illustrate how new forms of citizenship are required and forged. Through a focus on Amazonia and the Waorani, this book analyzes the burdens and opportunities created by oil-financed social and environmental change, and how these alter life in Amazonian extraction sites and across Ecuador.

Book Synopsis In Search of the Rain Forest by : Candace Slater
Download or read book In Search of the Rain Forest written by Candace Slater and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2004-03-22 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays collected here offer important new reflections on the multiple images of and rhetoric surrounding the rain forest. The slogan “Save the Rain Forest!”—emblazoned on glossy posters of tall trees wreathed in vines and studded with monkeys and parrots—promotes the popular image of a marvelously wild and vulnerable rain forest. Although representations like these have fueled laudable rescue efforts, in many ways they have done more harm than good, as these essays show. Such icons tend to conceal both the biological variety of rain forests and the diversity of their human inhabitants. They also frequently obscure the specific local and global interactions that are as much a part of today’s rain forests as are the array of plants and animals. In attending to these complexities, this volume focuses on specific portrayals of rain forests and the consequences of these characterizations for both forest inhabitants and outsiders. From diverse disciplines—history, archaeology, sociology, literature, law, and cultural anthropology—the contributors provide case studies from Latin America, Asia, and Africa. They point the way toward a search for a rain forest that is both a natural entity and a social history, an inhabited place and a shifting set of ideas. The essayists demonstrate how the single image of a wild and yet fragile forest became fixed in the popular mind in the late twentieth century, thereby influencing the policies of corporations, environmental groups, and governments. Such simplistic conceptions, In Search of the Rain Forest shows, might lead companies to tout their “green” technologies even as they try to downplay the dissenting voices of native populations. Or they might cause a government to create a tiger reserve that displaces peaceful peasants while opening the doors to poachers and bandits. By encouraging a nuanced understanding of distinctive, constantly evolving forests with different social and natural histories, this volume provides an important impetus for protection efforts that take into account the rain forest in all of its complexity.

Book Synopsis Assembling Petroleum Production and Climate Change in Ecuador and Norway by : Elisabeth Marta Tómmerbakk
Download or read book Assembling Petroleum Production and Climate Change in Ecuador and Norway written by Elisabeth Marta Tómmerbakk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses some of the controversies and uncertainties associated with reducing the extensive exploitation of fossil fuels due to their role in global warming. Elisabeth Marta Tómmerbakk explores why a transition towards a post-carbon society is so difficult to accomplish by examining how the relationship between petroleum production and climate change is politically framed and negotiated in contested cases. This question is approached through a process-oriented comparative case study of Lofoten, located in the Norwegian Sea above the Arctic Circle, and Yasuní-ITT (Ishpingo, Tambococha, and Tiputini) located in the Ecuadorian Amazon: regions that both belong to oil-exporting countries with highly oil-dependent economies. Tómmerbakk draws on rich empirical data that includes qualitative interviews with subjects in both countries and applies an Actor-Network Theory framework to show that oil and climate are intricately entangled in knowledge and policy practices. Overall, Assembling Petroleum Production and Climate Change in Ecuador and Norway provides an in-depth examination of how climate science and petroleum extraction are negotiated, adapted, assembled, and coordinated with other national policies and political aims. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of petroleum production, climate change, environmental policy, and environmental sociology.
