Book Synopsis The Malocas Mission (2nd Edition) by : Devin A. Dugan
Download or read book The Malocas Mission (2nd Edition) written by Devin A. Dugan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-10-17 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brazilian military regime thought to have been eradicated years ago has resurfaced. This underground repression agency is believed to be behind the recent attacks on several indigenous tribes throughout the Amazon. Soon these attacks reach the small village of Malocas where three Peace Corps volunteers are stationed. To make matters worse, the CEO of an American based business seems to be financially backing this insurgency, with aspirations of having unrestricted and monopolized access to the vast resources of the rainforest. It appears that someone is pitting everyone involved against each other; the military faction, the Fortune 500 Company, the Peace Corps, and their volunteers. These three volunteers -- a spoiled alcoholic playboy, a small town girl with a family secret, and a Peace Corps veteran -- are the only ones who may be able to end this prolonged foray and stop the rainforest from being completely destroyed. Sometimes even on a mission of peace, war is inevitable.

Book Synopsis The Arakmbut--mythology, Spirituality, and History by : Andrew Gray
Download or read book The Arakmbut--mythology, Spirituality, and History written by Andrew Gray and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 1996 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arakmbut are an indigenous people who live in the Madre de Dios region of thesoutheastern Peruvian rain forest. Since their first encounters with missionaries in the 1950s, they have shown resilience and a determination to affirm their identity in the face of many difficulties. During the last fifteen years, Arakmbut survival has been under threat from a goldrush that has attracted hundreds of colonists onto their territories. This trilogy of books traces the ways in which the Arakmbut overcome the dangers that surround them: their mythology and cultural strength; their social flexibility; and their capacity to incorporate non-indigenous concepts and activities into their defence strategies. Each area is punctuated by the constant presence of the invisible spirit, which provides a seamless theme connecting the books to each other. Following the Arakmbuts' recommendation, the author uses their three greatest myths to introduce social, cultural and historical aspects of their lives. He ends with a discussion of the relationship between myth and history showing how the Arakmbut recreate their myths at the dramatic moments of their history. Buy all three volumes for 20% discount
Book Synopsis Blacks of the Land by : John M. Monteiro
Download or read book Blacks of the Land written by John M. Monteiro and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in Portuguese in 1994 as Negros da Terra, this field-defining work by the late historian John M. Monteiro has been translated into English by Professors Barbara Weinstein and James Woodard. Monteiro's work established ethnohistory as a field in colonial Brazilian studies and made indigenous history a vital part of how scholars understand Brazil's colonial past. Drawing on over two dozen collections on both sides of the Atlantic, Monteiro rescued Indians from invisibility, documenting their role as both objects and actors in Brazil's colonial past and, most importantly, providing the first history of Indian slavery in Brazil. Monteiro demonstrates how Indian enslavement, not exploration or the search for mineral wealth, was the driving force behind expansion out of São Paulo and through the South American backcountry. This book makes a groundbreaking contribution not only to Latin American history, but to the history of indigenous slavery in the Americas generally.

Book Synopsis The Land Within by : Pedro García Hierro
Download or read book The Land Within written by Pedro García Hierro and published by IWGIA. This book was released on 2005 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By describing the fabric of relationships indigenous peoples weave with their environment, The Land Within attempts to define a more precise notion of indigenous territoriality. A large part of the work of titling the South American indigenous territories may now be completed but this book aims to demonstrate that, in addition to management, these territories involve many other complex aspects that must not be overlooked if the risk of losing these areas to settlers or extraction companies is to be avoided. Alexandre Surralls holds a doctorate in anthropology from the School for Higher Studies in Social Sciences and is a researcher on the staff of the National Centre for Scientific Research. Pedro Garca Hierro is a lawyer from Madrid Complutense University and the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. He has worked with various indigenous organizations, on issues related to the identification and development of collective rights and the promotion of intercultural democratic reforms.
Download or read book Chasing El Dorado written by Aaron Smith and published by Transit Lounge . This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get ready for a risk-taking rollercoaster ride through the favelas of Rio Di Janeiro and the wayside towns and jungles of South America in search of the secrets of shamans and ayahuasca – the vine of the soul. Aaron Smith’s often hilarious chronicle of love, danger and enlightenment, set in the one of most vibrant places on earth, is a true delight. Whether Aaron is being held at gunpoint in Rio, stranded on the Amazon River; interviewing musician Peter Gabriel for The Iquitos Times, dancing the samba at Carnival with the 60 Minutes team, undergoing initiation as a Matsés warrior, tripping the light fantastic, or falling in love with his beautiful Brazilian wife-to-be, you are bound to ‘experience’, along with him, more than a glimmer of gold. Like William Burroughs before him, Smith is on a journey to save his soul, but instead falls headfirst into the rich kaleidoscope of South American culture and ultimately discovers the truth that lies deep in the jungle or, sometimes, even closer to home.
