"This book offers a historic and anthropological perspective from which to understand the fragility of isolated indigenous groups in the face of contact with outside society. It helps us appreciate the importance, in terms of cultural and biological diversity, of safeguarding their territories for both their future and that of the human race." "Drawing on scientific and legal principles, international agreements, and primarily from the perspective of human rights, Beatriz Huertas Castillo presents solid arguments concerning the urgent need for national and international efforts to defend the territories, cultural integrity and life ways of isolated indigenous peoples."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Excerpt from Indian Tribes of Eastern Peru Organization. There is no tribal organization, no tribal meet ings, and no chief of the whole tribe. Each locality, comprising a few families situated near together on the same river or near the con uence of two rivers, has its own curaca, or head-man, who is selected because of his ability and in uence. The habits of life of these tribes do not encourage organization. They have no large villages, or large communal houses. There are, instead, several families living along the banks of a river in the same vicinity, each with its own chacara, or small clearing, in the fertile lowland, where an abundant and constant food supply is guaranteed. There is no criminal code or system of punishment, because there are so few criminals. Theft, unfaithfulness, and murder are practically unknown. If children are too intimme before marriage, they are severely beaten by their parents. A lazy man is compelled to work because no one will give him food, yet anyone will allow him to work in his field for food.

Slavery and Utopia
Author: Fernando Santos-GraneroPublisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477317163
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
In the first half of the twentieth century, a charismatic Peruvian Amazonian indigenous chief, José Carlos Amaringo Chico, played a key role in leading his people, the Ashaninka, through the chaos generated by the collapse of the rubber economy in 1910 and the subsequent pressures of colonists, missionaries, and government officials to assimilate them into the national society. Slavery and Utopia reconstructs the life and political trajectory of this leader whom the people called Tasorentsi, the name the Ashaninka give to the world-transforming gods and divine emissaries that come to this earth to aid the Ashaninka in times of crisis. Fernando Santos-Granero follows Tasorentsi’s transformations as he evolved from being a debt-peon and quasi-slave to being a slave raider; inspirer of an Ashaninka movement against white-mestizo rubber extractors and slave traffickers; paramount chief of a multiethnic, anti-colonial, and anti-slavery uprising; and enthusiastic preacher of an indigenized version of Seventh-Day Adventist doctrine, whose world-transforming message and personal influence extended well beyond Peru’s frontiers. Drawing on an immense body of original materials ranging from archival documents and oral histories to musical recordings and visual works, Santos-Granero presents an in-depth analysis of chief Tasorentsi’s political discourse and actions. He demonstrates that, despite Tasorentsi’s constant self-reinventions, the chief never forsook his millenarian beliefs, anti-slavery discourse, or efforts to liberate his people from white-mestizo oppression. Slavery and Utopia thus convincingly refutes those who claim that the Ashaninka proclivity to messianism is an anthropological invention.
