{"product_id":"ethnicity-in-ancient-amazonia-alf-hornborg-9781607320944","title":"Ethnicity in Ancient Amazonia: Reconstructing Past Identities from Archaeology, Linguistics, and Ethnohistory","description":"A transdisciplinary collaboration among ethnologists, linguists, and archaeologists, \u003ci\u003eEthnicity in Ancient Amazonia\u003c\/i\u003e traces the emergence, expansion, and decline of cultural identities in indigenous Amazonia.\u003cp\u003eHornborg and Hill argue that the tendency to link language, culture, and biology--essentialist notions of ethnic identities--is a Eurocentric bias that has characterized largely inaccurate explanations of the distribution of ethnic groups and languages in Amazonia. The evidence, however, suggests a much more fluid relationship among geography, language use, ethnic identity, and genetics. In \u003ci\u003eEthnicity in Ancient Amazonia\u003c\/i\u003e, leading linguists, ethnographers, ethnohistorians, and archaeologists interpret their research from a unique nonessentialist perspective to form a more accurate picture of the ethnolinguistic diversity in this area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRevealing how ethnic identity construction is constantly in flux, contributors show how such processes can be traced through different ethnic markers such as pottery styles and languages. Scholars and students studying lowland South America will be especially interested, as will anthropologists intrigued by its cutting-edge, interdisciplinary approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alf Hornborg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1607320940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607320944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Colorado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.20d","brand":"Alf Hornborg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088635900159,"sku":"9781607320944","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6943c88-85ac-442b-bad8-c6d8efefa439.jpg?v=1769105844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ethnicity-in-ancient-amazonia-alf-hornborg-9781607320944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
