Michael J. Heckenberger

The Ecology of Power

Culture, Place and Personhood in the Southern Amazon, AD 1000-2000

Buch

In 1884 a community of Brazilians was discovered by the Western world. The Ecology of Power examines these indigenous people from the Upper Xingu region, a group who even today are one of the strongest examples of long-term cultural continuity. Drawing upon written and oral history, ethnography, and archaeology, Heckenberger addresses the difficult issues facing anthropologists today as they uncover the muted voices of indigenous peoples and provides a fascinating portrait of a unique community of people who have in a way become living cultural artifacts.
