Hosszú leírás:

The Lowland South American World showcases cutting-edge research on the anthropology of Lowland South America, providing both an in-depth knowledge of Lowland South American life ways and engaging readers in urgent social, environmental, and political issues in the contemporary world.


Covering the vast expanse of a region that includes all of South America except for the Andes, its 40 chapters engage with questions of what ?Lowland South America? means as a geographical designation, both in studies of Indigenous Amazonian peoples and other lowland areas of the continent. They emphasize the multiple ways that local practices and cosmologies challenge conventional Western ideas about nature, culture, personhood, sociality, community, and Indigenous people.


Some of the region?s well-known contributions to anthropology, such as animism, perspectivism, and novel approaches to the body are updated here with new ethnography and in light of the varying political situations in which the region?s peoples find themselves. With contributions by authors from 15 different countries, including a number of Indigenous anthropologists and activists, this book will set the agenda for future research in the continent.


The Lowland South American World is a valuable resource for scholars and students of anthropology, Latin American studies and Indigenous studies, as well history, geography and other social sciences.



"South America, particularly its lowlands, was once considered the least known continent. Fifty years of research have changed that entirely. This is more than evident in this compendium, which not only summarises the current state of the art, especially in Amazonian ethnology, but also includes innovative chapters on the cutting edge of the discipline, some of them written by indigenous authors. A true achievement."


Aparecida Vilaça, Professor of Social Anthropology at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro


"From Guyana to Chile, from Ecuador to Argentina, this groundbreaking volume foregrounds Indigenous voices and Indigenous scholarship in situating the Lowland South American world today. Each one of the forty essays contained within offers a unique perspective, and collectively they address a wide variety of essential themes, from religion to politics, from economy to environment. The volume promises to be required and provocative reading for both students and scholars of the region for many years to come."


Magnus Course, Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology at University of Edinburgh
