Scoping the Amazon: Image, Icon, and Ethnography
ISBN: 9781598741766 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Amazon Indian is an icon that straddles the world between the professional anthropologist and the popular media. Presented alternately as the noble primitive, the savior of the environment, and as a savage, dissolute, cannibalistic half-human, it is an image well worth examining. Stephen Nugent does just that, critiquing the claims of authoritativeness inherent in visual images presented by anthropologists of Amazon life in the early 20th century and comparing them with the images found in popular books, movies, and posters. The book depicts the field of anthropology as its own form of...

ISBN: 9781611321784 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 249 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Amazonian Caboclo Society: An Essay on Invisibility and Peasant Economy
ISBN: 9780854967568 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Amazonian Caboclo Society is concerned with peasant society in Brazilian Amazonia. Most anthropological work in Amazonia has focused on Indian groups, and caboclos (peasants of mixed ancestry) have generally been regarded as relics of the haphazard development of Amazonia and have received little serious attention. This volume aims to analyze the reasons for the relative 'invisibility' of caboclo society. It traces the development of caboclo societies and argues that much of the current discussion of 'sustainable development' fails to recognize the important legacy of historical caboclo...

Elite Cultures: Anthropological Perspectives
ISBN: 9780415277952 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The anthropological study of elites has gained increasing prominence with the shift of the anthropological gaze towards issues of power, prestige and status in the societies of anthropologists themselves. However, our understanding of elites is often partial, obscured as it is by the theoretical weaknesses of Western models on the one hand and, on the other, by the difficulties in studying elites from the inside.
