Download or read book Nurturing the Other written by Vanessa Grotti and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining archival research, oral history and long-term ethnography, this book studies relations between Amerindians and outsiders, such as American missionaries, through a series of contact expeditions that led to the 'pacification' of three native Amazonian groups in Suriname and French Guiana. The author examines and contrasts Amerindian and non-Amerindian views on this process of social transformation through the lens of the body, notions of peacefulness and kinship, as well as native warfare and shamanism. The book addresses questions of change and continuity, and the little explored links between first contacts, capture and native conversion to Christianity in contemporary indigenous Amazonia.

Download or read book Cassava and Chicha written by Linda Mowat and published by Bloomsbury Shire Publications. This book was released on 1989 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The staple diet of most Amazonian Indians is based on a tuberous plant known as manioc. Bitter manioc, the more nutritious form, requires careful processing to remove the poisonous hydrocyanic acid it contains. In order to render it edible, the Indians have developed an elaborate technology involving a range of highly specialised artefacts. By soaking, grating, squeezing, drying and baking, they convert the tubers either to cassava bread or to a coarse toasted flour, farinha. Nutritious manioc beer known as chicha is also produced and consumed in large quantities at feasts and ceremonies. Manioc is not just a food but a way of life in the Amazon, and the daily routine of women in particular is centred around it. About the author Linda Mowat graduated from the Institute of Archaeology in London and proceeded to the University of Leicester, where she obtained the Graduate Certificate in Museum Studies. Her archaeological fieldwork included three seasons in Colombia as a surveyor and while there she was able to visit Indian groups in the tropical forests as well as in the Andes.She subsequently worked as Research Assistant at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "L'ouvrage réunit les contributions de vingt-et-un chercheurs qui, à partir de matériaux amazoniens, andins ou mésoaméricains, s’interrogent sur les contraintes pesant sur la production des dialogues. Les analyses portent sur des cas concrets d’interaction, dans une multiplicité de contextes, tant cérémoniels que quotidiens : dialogues entre chamanes et esprits, ethnologues et informateurs, missionnaires et néophytes, hommes du commun et chefs, gendres et beaux-parents, invités et hôtes. On y voit — on y entend, grâce aux nombreux textes cités en langues — la scène de ménage derrière la prière officielle, le signal du défi dans un échange courtois, les grincements interprétatifs dus à des conceptions incompatibles de la discussion ; on y apprend pourquoi les voies royales de l’ivresse et du rêve imposent un suffixe aux verbes de la narration, et même comment le mésusage d’une particule grammaticale dans le discours d’un dignitaire a des conséquences politiques drastiques. Envisagé dans sa globalité, le livre montre que l’activité dialogique, contrainte par des universaux d’interaction et culturellement construite, ne s’étudie efficacement qu’en conjoignant les apports théoriques de l’ethnologie et de la linguistique."--
