- Research for this book took place in an indigenous territory in Brazil over 18 months’ of trips, between 2006 and 2013, with an extra year for difficult language training. Participation in every aspect of life (agriculture, fishing, craft, rituals, feasting) in this monolingual community occurred in tandem with learning a poorly documented language, analyzing genealogies, narratives, songs and rituals. The book theorizes indigenous responses to ruptures imposed by integration into the global economy, engaging literatures on animism, ritual, political, environmental and gender relations, engaging with biological and evolutionary sciences in its treatment of agriculture/ plant domestication, fishing practices, and cookery.
