Book Synopsis A Question of Survival for the Indians of Brazil by : Robin Hanbury-Tenison
Download or read book A Question of Survival for the Indians of Brazil written by Robin Hanbury-Tenison and published by Angus & Robertson. This book was released on 1973 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the author s visit to Brazil to check whether the recommendations by the International Red Cross for the improvement of the Amazonian Indians lot had been implemented by the Brazilian Government. To his consternation he discovered that not only had the recommendations been largely ignored but that the whole future of these tribal peoples was being jeopardized for the sake of progress. In return for their gift to the world of cocoa, peanuts, tomatoes, cashew, avocado and quinine, which are all of Amerindian origin, Indian tribes have received only disease, expropriation and death. They have no natural immunity to many of the diseases carried by the white man. Civilization is fast approaching the few remaining uncontacted tribes, and A Question of Survival poses the dilemma which faces Western Civilization and all who adhere to its philosophies: that in the name of progress and technological advance we are destroying all cultures in any way different from our own, even though they constitute the roots from which we have sprung, and without which our own stability and sense of continuity is threatened. It is, therefore, not just a question of survival for the South American Indian that the author is raising, but, by implication, the survival of us all as a species.

Book Synopsis The Bakairí Indians of Brazil by : Debra Picchi
Download or read book The Bakairí Indians of Brazil written by Debra Picchi and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2006-02-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over twenty-five years, Debra Picchi has documented how the Bakair Indians have addressed and endured change. This up-close portrayal of how a remarkable indigenous people of Brazil has managed to hold on to many of their traditions after years of contact with mainstream Brazilian culture is written in a down-to-earth, conversational style, yet does not avoid complex issues. The original edition represented one of the first ethnographies on South American Indians to espouse political ecology explicitly as a theoretical orientation. Expanded coverage in the second edition includes material on the theory of political ecology, different methodological approaches used to collect data on populations, the latest archaeological findings taking place in Brazil, how Bakair gender constructs have changed over the last 100 years, and the effects of population increases, mechanized production, and wealth accumulation. Both accessible and rigorous, Picchi packs much information into a slim volume, which serves as a reminder of the value of long-term fieldwork and demonstrates that research is as much about process as it is about product.

Book Synopsis Brazil's Indians and the Onslaught of Civilization by : Linda Rabben
Download or read book Brazil's Indians and the Onslaught of Civilization written by Linda Rabben and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yanomami and Kayapó, two indigenous groups of the Amazon rainforest, have become internationally known through their dramatic and highly publicized encounters with “civilization.” Both groups struggle to transcend internal divisions, preserve their traditional culture, and defend their land from depredation, while seeking to benefit from the outside world, yet their prospects for the future seem very different. Placing each group in its historical context, Linda Rabben examines the relationship of the Kayapó and Yanomami to Brazilian society and the wider world. She combines academic research with a wide variety of sources, including celebrated leaders Paulinho Payakan and Davi Kopenawa, to assess how each group has responded to outside incursions. This book is a substantially revised edition of Unnatural Selection: The Yanomami, the Kayapó, and the Onslaught of Civilization, originally published in 1998, and includes a new chapter examining the controversy for anthropologists studying the Yanomami following the publication of Patrick Tierney’s book Darkness in El Dorado. Another new chapter focuses on the resurgence of Northeastern indigenous groups previously thought extinct. The magnitude and significance of indigenous movements has increased greatly, and a new generation of Brazilian indigenous leaders, proficient in Portuguese, is participating in the national political arena.

Book excerpt: The defeat of the Indian tribes of Brazil is one of the great tragedies of Europe's involvement in South America. John Hemming's highly acclaimed 'Red Gold' told of the early conquest of the Indians by European settlers; 'Amazon Frontier' continues the tale. In 1755, after two hundred years of missionary control and appalling abuse by colonial settlers, the Portuguese governement issued legislation freeing the tribes. But the promised freedom proved to be an illusion: relaesed from the power of the Jesuits who had exploited them, the Indians now suffered even greater oppression at the hands of lay directors. As the colonial frontier pushed westwards into the immense territory of Brazil, stretching from the pampas of Uruguay to the rainforests of Amazonia, the Indians struggled to presserve their independence and their customs. Some tribes fought heroically, but their resistance was in vain; others tried to accommodate the advancing frontier, but were unable to withstand the profund cultural shock; a few, protected by impenetrable forests and rapid-infested rivers, survived with their cultures intact. Decimated by battle and imported disease, and deeply demoralised, the Indians were defeated, stripped of their traditional way of life and of their homelands. 'Amazon Frontier' covers the period from the mid-eighteenth to the early twentieth century - a time which saw Brazil gain independence and change from an isolated colonial outpost to a modern nation, its economy transformed by coffee exports and the great Amazon rubber boom. It was also a time when naturalists flooded into Brazil, drawn by the environmental riches of its plains, forests and rivers, and when alongside the exploiters of Indians came philanthroposts and anthropologists enchanted by tribal cultures, authors romanticising the 'noble savage', and politicians and administrators agonising over the problem of turning the Indians into settled labourers. The first book to explore this vast subject, 'Amazon Frontier' is based on the extensive research from original sources that has made John Hemming the leading authority in his field. A moving and stirring book, it is the definitive account of a fascinating period of history.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The extraordinary true story of a journey into the deepest recesses of the Amazon to track one of the planet's last uncontacted indigenous tribes. Even today there remain tribes in the far reaches of the Amazon rainforest that have avoided contact with modern civilization. Deliberately hiding from the outside world, they are the last survivors of an ancient culture that predates the arrival of Columbus in the New World. In this gripping first-person account of adventure and survival, author Scott Wallace chronicles an expedition into the Amazon’s uncharted depths, discovering the rainforest’s secrets while moving ever closer to a possible encounter with one such tribe—the mysterious flecheiros, or “People of the Arrow,” seldom-glimpsed warriors known to repulse all intruders with showers of deadly arrows. On assignment for National Geographic, Wallace joins Brazilian explorer Sydney Possuelo at the head of a thirty-four-man team that ventures deep into the unknown in search of the tribe. Possuelo’s mission is to protect the Arrow People. But the information he needs to do so can only be gleaned by entering a world of permanent twilight beneath the forest canopy. Danger lurks at every step as the expedition seeks out the Arrow People even while trying to avoid them. Along the way, Wallace uncovers clues as to who the Arrow People might be, how they have managed to endure as one of the last unconquered tribes, and why so much about them must remain shrouded in mystery if they are to survive. Laced with lessons from anthropology and the Amazon’s own convulsed history, and boasting a Conradian cast of unforgettable characters—all driven by a passion to preserve the wild, but also wracked by fear, suspicion, and the desperate need to make it home alive—The Unconquered reveals this critical battleground in the fight to save the planet as it has rarely been seen, wrapped in a page-turning tale of adventure.
