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.

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

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The End of the Future, author Bartholomew Dean broadens the theoretical framework for understanding memory's role in reconciliation following a violent conflict. This book explores the complicated and confusing linkages between memory and trauma for individuals caught up in civil war and post-conflict reconciliation in the Peruvian Amazon's Huallaga Valley—an epicenter for leftist rebels and a booming shadow economy based on the extraction and circulation of cocaine. The End of the Future tells the story of violent attempts by the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (Movimiento Revolucionario Túpac Amaru, MRTA) to overthrow the state in the late 1980s and early 1990s from the perspective of the poorest residents of the lower Huallaga's Caynarachi Basin. To give context to the causes and consequences of the MRTA's presence in the lower and central Huallaga, this book relies on the written works and testimony of Sístero García Torres, an MRTA rebel commander; the government's Truth and Reconciliation Commission; MRTA propaganda; media accounts; and critical historical texts. Besides exposing Huallaga Valley human rights abuses, the book's contribution to political anthropology is consequential for its insistence that reconciliation is by no means equivalent to local, Indigenous notions of "justice" or customary forms of dispute resolution. Without deliberately addressing the diverse socio-cultural contours defining overlapping epistemologies of justice, freedom, and communal well-being, enduring reconciliation will likely remain elusive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For four centuries, the Camp Ashaninkas of the Peruvian Amazon have fought for their identity and independence in the face of Spanish colonialism and Peruvian national expansionism. Stefan Varese wrote about the Campa Ashaninkas in the mid-1960s, after three seasons of field research among them and three years of archival research. He titled his book La Sal de Los Cerros, after the invaded Mountain of Salt that had been the center of Campa Ashaninka trade and power for millennia. Salt of the Mountain makes Varese's classic work of anthropology available in English for the first time, updated with a new preface and introduction by the author. Varese conducted his research with an explicit commitment to letting the Campa Ashaninkas speak for themselves. Using their myths and cosmological interpretations as source material, Varese presents new readings of both colonial Spanish and modern Peruvian documents relating to the tribe. He chronicles the relentless success of European geographic annexation and the continuing failure of European cultural assimilation. Living among the Campa Ashaninkas, Varese found that their worldview rejects the modern notion that assimilation is inevitable, and he developed a deep respect for their fiercely independent spirit. For this reason, he calls his work an "approximation" rather than a description or history.

Download or read book Slavery and Utopia written by Fernando Santos-Granero and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2018-09-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first half of the twentieth century, a charismatic Peruvian Amazonian indigenous chief, José Carlos Amaringo Chico, played a key role in leading his people, the Ashaninka, through the chaos generated by the collapse of the rubber economy in 1910 and the subsequent pressures of colonists, missionaries, and government officials to assimilate them into the national society. Slavery and Utopia reconstructs the life and political trajectory of this leader whom the people called Tasorentsi, the name the Ashaninka give to the world-transforming gods and divine emissaries that come to this earth to aid the Ashaninka in times of crisis. Fernando Santos-Granero follows Tasorentsi’s transformations as he evolved from being a debt-peon and quasi-slave to being a slave raider; inspirer of an Ashaninka movement against white-mestizo rubber extractors and slave traffickers; paramount chief of a multiethnic, anti-colonial, and anti-slavery uprising; and enthusiastic preacher of an indigenized version of Seventh-Day Adventist doctrine, whose world-transforming message and personal influence extended well beyond Peru’s frontiers. Drawing on an immense body of original materials ranging from archival documents and oral histories to musical recordings and visual works, Santos-Granero presents an in-depth analysis of chief Tasorentsi’s political discourse and actions. He demonstrates that, despite Tasorentsi’s constant self-reinventions, the chief never forsook his millenarian beliefs, anti-slavery discourse, or efforts to liberate his people from white-mestizo oppression. Slavery and Utopia thus convincingly refutes those who claim that the Ashaninka proclivity to messianism is an anthropological invention.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Rising Up, Living On, Catherine E. Walsh examines struggles for existence in societies deeply marked by the systemic violences and entwinements of coloniality, capitalism, Christianity, racism, gendering, heteropatriarchy, and the continual dispossession of bodies, land, knowledge, and life, while revealing practices that contest and live in the cracks of these matrices of power. Through stories, narrations, personal letters, conversations, lived accounts, and weaving together the thought of many—including ancestors, artists, students, activists, feminists, collectives, and Indigenous and Africana peoples—in the Americas, the Global South, and beyond, Walsh takes readers on a journey of decolonial praxis. Here, Walsh outlines individual and collective paths that cry out and crack, ask and walk, deschool, undo the nation-state, and break down boundaries of gender, race, and nature. Rising Up, Living On is a book that sows re-existences, nurtures relationality, and cultivates the sense, hope, and possibility of life otherwise in these desperate times.
