Warfare and Shamanism in Amazonia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781107449428)

Warfare and Shamanism in Amazonia is an ethnographic study of the Parakan , a little-known indigenous people of Amazonia, who inhabit the interfluvial region in the state of Par , Brazil. This book analyzes the relationship between warfare and shamanism in Parakan society from the late 19th century until the end of the 20th century. Based on the author's extensive fieldwork, the book presents first-hand ethnographic data collected among a generation still deeply involved in conflicts. The result is an innovative work with a broad thematic and comparative scope.
