This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of a Visit to Indian Tribes of the Purus River, Brazil It seems probable that no Wild tribe now lives on the Lower Amazon or its navigable branches. The ancient inhabitants have in most cases entirely disappeared, leaving nothing but their graves, kitchen mid dens, and old village sites buried in the forest, and the names of their tribes and ancient territories preserved in the histories of the country and in local names. Most of these tribes have without doubt become extinct, though a few individuals may have merged with the hardier Tapuios (tapuyan family), the civilized and Christian Indians of the Amazon. Great tracts of the country are entirely without human inhabitants, as the latter generally live in small villages and scattered cabins along the navigable streams only.

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.

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 290 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 Wanano Indians of the Brazilian Amazon by : Janet M. Chernela
Download or read book The Wanano Indians of the Brazilian Amazon written by Janet M. Chernela and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wanano Indians of the northwest Amazon have a social system that differs from those of most tropical forest tribes. Neither stratified by wealth nor strictly egalitarian, Wanano society is "ranked" according to rigidly bound descent groups. In this pioneering ethnographic study, Janet M. Chernela decodes the structure of Wanano society. In Wanano culture, children can be "grandparents," while elders can be "grandchildren." This apparent contradiction springs from the fact that descent from ranked ancestors, rather than age or accumulated wealth, determines one's standing in Wanano society. But ranking's impulse is muted as senior clans, considered to be succulent (referring to both seniority and resource abundance), must be generous gift-givers. In this way, resources are distributed throughout the society. In two poignant chapters aptly entitled "Ordinary Dramas," Chernela shows that rank is a site of contest, resulting in exile, feuding, personal shame, and even death. Thus, Chernela's account is dynamic, placing rank in historic as well as personal context. As the deforestation of the Amazon continues, the Wanano and other indigenous peoples face growing threats of habitat destruction and eventual extinction. If these peoples are to be saved, they must first be known and valued. The Wanano Indians of the Brazilian Amazon is an important step in that direction.

Book excerpt: Franz Keller was a German engineer who spent 17 years in Brazil. In 1867, Keller and his father were commissioned by the minister of public works in Rio de Janeiro to explore the Madeira River in order to determine the feasibility of building a railroad to circumvent rapids that made steamship navigation impossible on part of the river. This book, published some seven years later, describes the river and its rapids, the native tribes that Keller and his party encountered, and the animals and vegetation of the virgin forest of the Amazon and the Madeira rivers. Keller's expedition extended into eastern Bolivia. It devotes a chapter to the Mojo Indians of that region and the history of their interactions with the Jesuit missions dating from the late 17th century.

This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by Alfred Russel Wallace was originally published in 1853 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'A Narrative of Travels on the Amazon and Rio Negro' is a detailed description of Wallace's observations of the human inhabitants, animal life, and environment of the Amazon and Rio Negra. Alfred Russel Wallace was born on 8th January 1823 in the village of Llanbadoc, in Monmouthshire, Wales. Wallace was inspired by the travelling naturalists of the day and decided to begin his exploration career collecting specimens in the Amazon rainforest. He explored the Rio Negra for four years, making notes on the peoples and languages he encountered as well as the geography, flora, and fauna. While travelling, Wallace refined his thoughts about evolution and in 1858 he outlined his theory of natural selection in an article he sent to Charles Darwin. Wallace made a huge contribution to the natural sciences and he will continue to be remembered as one of the key figures in the development of evolutionary theory.
