“This exciting collection of essays by a wonderful group of authors, anchored by an extensive theoretical introduction, engages with some of the most heatedly debated subjects of South American ethnography today.” • Anthony Seeger, UCLA
“This book brings together empirically rich, ethnographically grounded case studies of ritual and musical interactions with non-humans from lowland and highland regions of the continent. This wealth of new material gives Rivera Andía ample justification for a thorough reappraisal of current debates on nonhumans and animism. The book will remain an essential reference for some time to come.” • Marc Brightman, University College London
“This volume cuts through the sometimes-abstruse discourse of post-humanism to return ethnography to its rightful place in the forefront of anthropological inquiry. These detailed field studies —each of which combines rigorous research with sensitive analysis— provide new insights into the ontological and political complexities of life in contemporary indigenous communities. Together they make a solid and inspiring collection that should contribute to theory and research for a long time to come.” • Catherine J. Allen, George Washington University
“This important volume makes a major contribution to scholarly understandings of the complex entanglements of human and non-human subjects across South America. By carefully foregrounding the impressive diversity and real political stakes of such entanglements, this work sets forth several ways that an anthropology beyond the human may be revised and resituated within the contemporary.” • Lucas Bessire, University of Oklahoma
“This book is a major contribution to today’s most important anthropological debates. Framed by a masterful introduction that positions the book in relation to attempts to bring non-humans into anthropological analysis, the chapters do what anthropology does best: put philosophical concerns into conversation with the complexities of fine-grained ethnographic analysis. Especially welcome are the book’s inclusion of diverse anthropological voices, its troubling of divides between South America's lowlands and highlands, and its consideration of indigenous life in shifting historical contexts. For anyone interested in the latest thinking on animism and multi-species ethnography, this book is a must-read.” • Michael Cepek, author of Life in Oil: Cofán Survival in the Petroleum Fields of Amazonia
“At a time when understanding human relations with the environment has never been more urgent, this theoretically important and ethnographically rich collection emphasises the variety and complexity of human relations with our surroundings. Covering an impressive range of different South American cultures and contexts this edited volume offers the reader lots of material and insights into the myriad forms of the world and the possibilities found in extending social membership beyond the human.” • Evan Killick, University of Sussex
DESCRIPTION
Drawing on fieldwork from diverse Amerindian societies whose lives and worlds are undergoing processes of transformation, adaptation, and deterioration, this volume offers new insights into the indigenous constitutions of humanity, personhood, and environment characteristic of the South American highlands and lowlands. The resulting ethnographies – depicting non-human entities emerging in ritual, oral tradition, cosmology, shamanism and music – explore the conditions and effects of unequally ranked life forms, increased extraction of resources, continuous migration to urban centers, and the (usually) forced incorporation of current expressions of modernity into indigenous societies.

Indigenous Life Projects and Extractivism by Juan Rivera
Palgrave, 2018
Exploring indigenous life projects in encounters with extractivism, the present open access volum... more Exploring indigenous life projects in encounters with extractivism, the present open access volume discusses how current turbulences actualise questions of indigeneity, difference and ontological dynamics in the Andes and Amazonia. While studies of extractivism in South America often focus on wider national and international politics, this contribution instead provides ethnographic explorations of indigenous politics, perspectives and worlds, revealing loss and suffering as well as creative strategies to mediate the extralocal. Seeking to avoid conceptual imperialism or the imposition of exogenous categories, the chapters are grounded in the respective authors’ long-standing field research. The authors examine the reactions (from resistance to accommodation), consequences (from anticipation to rubble) and materials (from fossil fuel to water) diversely related to extractivism in rural and urban settings. How can Amerindian strategies to preserve localised communities in extractivist contexts contribute to ways of thinking otherwise?

Clearly written and yet rich in always surprising ethnographic material, this volume is essential reading for scholars and students interested in both Amerindian anthropology and political ecology in general. By examining how "indigenous life projects" are redefined through both negotiations and contestations with state and market actors, the nine contributions to this volume-set in Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, Guyana, Venezuela, and Bolivia-make a strong case for the value of the ethnographic gaze in dealing with uncertainties and dilemmas emerging from natural resource extraction within indigenous territories. Thanks to its ethnographic commitment, this volume succeeds in highlighting the historically deep colonial features of contemporary practices of natural resource extraction in alignment with the interests of their interlocutors, without falling for essentialist and romantic representations of indigenous resistance to capitalism, as evidenced, for example, in Li's and Paredes's chapter on the strategic use of indigeneity in environmental activism in Peru and Bolivia. From a theoretical standpoint, this book is built around the ambitious project of bridging three streams of literature typically developed with little communication among them. With different proportions, each chapter deals with materialistic questions of dispossession inspired by

No Prefácio de Peter Gose, autor da obra seminal " Aguas mortíferas y cerros hambrientos " (2001) sobre rituais agrícolas nos Andes pe-ruanos, é realçada a capacidade de tais eventos de nos " introduz[ir]em nas relações sociais, no idioma e na cultura do pastoreio " (p.10). Ao longo dos vá-rios capítulos da coletânea, são descritos desde rituais de marcação do gado, até diferentes festas, ocasiões em que música, dança e compartilhamento de substâncias são indispensáveis para celebrar e garantir a vida desses seres que brindam riqueza e vitalidade àqueles que os criam. Na Introdução, Rivera Andía chama atenção para as lacunas etnográficas sobre rituais relacionados ao gado nos Andes, ressaltando o destaque dado na literatura existente para os camelídeos (lhamas e alpacas) e as herranzas (rituais de marcação dos animais) de um lado, e, de outro, a escassez de trabalhos so-bre o gado bovino, ovino e equino, de origem europeia. Isso se deve em parte, conforme aponta oportunamente o autor, ao fato de que muitos desses estudos foram realizados por folcloristas, escritores e intelectuais locais influenciados por ideologias que predominaram na segunda metade do século XX no Peru, como o indigenismo. Assim, regiões do sul do Peru teriam sido vistas como as mais " indígenas " e mais " autênticas " (p.29), o que de certa forma se refle-te nos estudos sobre rituais do gado, sobretudo a herranza, cuja maior parte da bibliografia é referente aos departamentos de Arequipa, Cuzco, Apurímac, Puno, Huancavelica e Ayacucho (todos na região sul do país). Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho vem ajudar a preencher tais lacunas, pois aborda rituais que envolvem diversos tipos de gado (bovinos, ovinos e camelídeos) e em diferen

El resultado de los trabajos reunidos en este libro… es impresionante. Proporciona una fuente muy rica de informaciones acerca de las costumbres rituales, las narrativas, las poesías y las diferentes formas de organizaciones locales en la sierra del Perú. Es el fruto del trabajo de muchos investigadores y recopiladores durante varios años… Su metodología es ejemplar para situaciones actuales en las que indígenas y académicos (y académicos indígenas) colaboran en la creación de documentaciones reunidas por un interés común en etnografías locales y regionales.
