Description:

"For over twenty-five years, Debra Picchi has documented how the Bakairi Indians have addressed and endured change. This up-close portrayal of how a remarkable indigenous people of Brazil has managed to hold on to many of their traditions after years of contact with mainstream Brazilian culture is written in a down-to-earth, conversational style, yet does not avoid complex issues. The original edition represented one of the first ehnographies on South American Indians to espouse political ecology explicitly as a theoretical orientation."--BOOK JACKET.
