In a well-written, detailed text, anthropologist Brown presents an eloquent book full of reflections based on his 1976–2012 fieldwork with an Amazonian society, the Awajún, previously known as the Aguaruna or Jibaro. This indigenous society living in the Upper Amazon of Northern Peru has often been highly misunderstood and has erroneously been described as a vanishing society and portrayed in a very simplistic way as primarily a murdering culture. Brown presents a detailed story filled with many personal events combined with rich ethnographic and cultural information and a witty perspective that easily engages readers… This quite thoughtful work provides a deep understanding of who the Awajún really are, as well as their current situation in the modern world.
