Description

"Casey High weaves together memories, facts and fantasies as these occur in contemporary Ecuadorian Amazonia, offering us a fascinating picture of Waorani life today. This highly original book takes us a step further in the understanding of current sociocultural transformations among Amazonian indigenous peoples."
--Carlos Fausto, National Museum, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro

"An exciting analysis of the most intimate aspects of memory and experience in a contemporary Amazonian indigenous group in dialogue with its own stereotypes. . . . A compelling book not only for anthropologists but for anyone interested in contemporary Amerindian groups."--European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies
