Yanomami raises questions central to the field of anthropology―questions concerning the practice of fieldwork, the production of knowledge, and anthropology's intellectual and ethical vision of itself. Using the Yanomami controversy―one of anthropology's most famous and explosive imbroglios―as its starting point, this book draws readers into not only reflecting on but refashioning the very heart and soul of the discipline. It is both the most up-to-date and thorough public discussion of the Yanomami controversy available and an innovative and searching assessment of the current state of anthropology. The Yanomami controversy came to public attention through the publication of Patrick Tierney's best-selling book, Darkness in El Dorado, in which he accuses James Neel, a prominent geneticist who belonged to the National Academy of Sciences, as well as Napoleon Chagnon, whose introductory text on the Yanomami is perhaps the best-selling anthropological monograph of all time, of serious human rights violations. This book identifies the ethical dilemmas of the controversy and raises deeper, structural questions about the discipline. A portion of the book is devoted to a unique roundtable in which important scholars on different sides of the issues debate back and forth with each other. This format draws readers into deciding, for themselves, where they stand on the controversy’s―and many of anthropology’s―central concerns. All of the royalties from this book will be donated to helping the Yanomami improve their healthcare.

This text provides an anthropological account of the Yanomami and their social organisation, kinship and marriage, moving from the microcosm of individual experience to the broader sociological trends that engulf them. It draws on extensive fieldwork among the Sanuma.

The Falling Sky is a remarkable first-person account of the life story and cosmo-ecological thought of Davi Kopenawa, shaman and spokesman for the Yanomami of the Brazilian Amazon. Representing a people whose very existence is in jeopardy, Davi Kopenawa paints an unforgettable picture of Yanomami culture, past and present, in the heart of the rainforest--a world where ancient indigenous knowledge and shamanic traditions cope with the global geopolitics of an insatiable natural resources extraction industry.In richly evocative language, Kopenawa recounts his initiation and experience as a shaman, as well as his first encounters with outsiders: government officials, missionaries, road workers, cattle ranchers, and gold prospectors. He vividly describes the ensuing cultural repression, environmental devastation, and deaths resulting from epidemics and violence. To counter these threats, Davi Kopenawa became a global ambassador for his endangered people. The Falling Sky follows him from his native village in the Northern Amazon to Brazilian cities and finally on transatlantic flights bound for European and American capitals. These travels constitute a shamanic critique of Western industrial society, whose endless material greed, mass violence, and ecological blindness contrast sharply with Yanomami cultural values.Bruce Albert, a close friend since the 1970s, superbly captures Kopenawa's intense, poetic voice. This collaborative work provides a unique reading experience that is at the same time a coming-of-age story, a historical account, and a shamanic philosophy, but most of all an impassioned plea to respect native rights and preserve the Amazon rainforest.

Recordings from 1978 by David Toop of Yanomami ritual songs, shamanistic ceremonies, and rainforest sounds. The voices of spirits and animal familiars, ventriloquist illusions of sound in dark spaces, secret spirit languages, the clap of thunder that links shamanic trance with the sleep language of Finnegans Wake... Out of these passages of the everyday, intensity flares like flames caught by a gust of wind. Skin burns or oozes blood, the wind blows up havoc as the spirits move about. Both doubl

color plates, bio., cat., color pict. ednpapers, color pict. boards. Works by the indigenous artist get their first solo show at the museum. The Nossa Terra-Floresta show is Joseca Yanomami's first solo show and brings together a significant part of his entire artistic production. In his drawings, the artist portrays scenes and landscapes from the Yanomami universe, whether from everyday life or passages belonging to shamanic myths, always starting from a rare cultural repertoire that is unique to him. This exhibition is also a struggle for existence, against the frequent threats that put the lands and lives of the Yanomami people at risk. This book reproduces 93 drawings held by MASP, the most substantial existing collection of his work. Joseca Yanomami (born 1971) is a member of the Indigenous Yanomami people in the Brazilian Amazon. A member of the Watoriki community (Yanomami Indigenous Land in the Amazon), Joseca founded his group's first school in the 1990s, encouraging children to learn writing and study languages. At the time, she participated in the production of numerous bilingual (Yanomami / Portuguese) leaflets for school education and health programs created by Brazilian NGOs. In the early 2000s, Joseca was the first Yanomami to work in the health field. At that time, he also began to carve forest animals in wood, and soon after, he also began to dedicate himself to drawings that illustrated elements and stories of Yanomami life. The exhibition also includes the exhibition of the video SOPRO, by the Barreira Y collective, with support from the Yanomami and YeK'wana Leadership Forum and the Instituto Socioambiental. The work features the projection of Joseca Yanomami's drawings, accompanied by speeches by Davi Kopenawa Yanomami, held in 2020 at the national congress, as part of the #foragarimpoforacovid campaign, against mining and the spread of Covid-19.

Rooted in two vastly different cultures, a young man struggles to understand himself, find his place in the world, and reconnect with his mother—and her remote tribe in the deepest jungles of the Amazon rainforest—in this powerful memoir that combines adventure, history, and anthropology.“My Yanomami family called me by name. Anyopo-we. What it means, I soon learned, is ‘long way around’: I’d taken the long way around obstacles to be here among my people, back where I started. A twenty-year detour.”For much of his young life, David Good was torn between two vastly different worlds. The son of an American anthropologist and a tribeswoman from a distant part of the Amazon, it took him twenty years to embrace his identity, reunite with the mother who left him when he was six, and claim his heritage.The Way Around is Good’s amazing chronicle of self-discovery. Moving from the wilds of the Amazonian jungle to the paved confines of suburban New Jersey and back, it is the story of his parents, his American scientist-father and his mother who could not fully adapt to the Western lifestyle. Good writes sympathetically about his mother’s abandonment and the deleterious effect it had on his young self; of his rebellious teenage years marked by depression and drinking, and the near-fatal car accident that transformed him and gave him purpose to find a way back to his mother.A compelling tale of recovery and discovery, The Way Around is a poignant, fascinating exploration of what family really means, and the way that the strongest bonds endure, even across decades and worlds.

In part due to the recent Yanomami controversy, which has rocked anthropology to its very core, there is renewed interest in the discipline's history and intellectual roots, especially amongst anthropologists themselves. The cutting edge of anthropological research today is a product of earlier questions and answers, previous ambitions, preoccupations and adventures, stretching back one hundred years or more. This book is the first comprehensive history of American anthropology. Crucially, Patterson relates the development of anthropology in the United States to wider historical currents in society. American anthropologists over the years have worked through shifting social and economic conditions, changes in institutional organization, developing class structures, world politics, and conflicts both at home and abroad. How has anthropology been linked to colonial, commercial and territorial expansion in the States? How have the changing forms of race, power, ethnic identity and politics shaped the questions anthropologists ask, both past and present? Anthropology as a discipline has always developed in a close relationship with other social sciences,but this relationship has rarely been scrutinized. This book details and explains the complex interplay of forces and conditions that have made anthropology in America what it is today. Furthermore, it explores how anthropologists themselves have contributed and propagated powerful images and ideas about the different cultures and societies that make up our world.This book will be essential reading for anyone interested inunderstanding the roots and reasons behind American anthropology at the turn of the twenty-first century. Intellectual historians, social scientists, and anyone intrigued by the growth and development of institutional politics and practices should read this book.

Focusing on both the ancient (Inca) and living (Yanomami) cultures of South America, this volume captures the South American mythmakers' fascination with shape shifting and magic. Includes the tale of the first Inca, who built the city of Cuzco on the spot where his staff disappeared into the ground, and the sky people, who discovered the rainforest teeming with animals.
