Abstract
This course will be an introduction to the ethnography of South America with the primary focus on Amazonian peoples. The cultural, political, and historical contexts of their lives will be studied and discussed as they are played out in the tropical Amazonian environment. Close attention will be paid to that critical space where socio-political interaction takes place, history is made, and where their world and ours intersect and the future is negotiated/contested. Participatory learning is assumed for a course of this type - it is not a spectator sport.
