Resumo

Hundreds of native peoples are found in South America. They range from simple foraging groups like the Yahgan, who lack agriculture, to the complex theocratic civilization of the Inca. They also provide interesting case studies of warfare, religion, shamanism and sex antagonism. This reader brings together outstanding contributions in cultural anthropology, archaeology, physical anthropology and linguistics. They were chosen for their coverage of diverse aspects of South American native life and for their important theoretical approaches. Of special interest to South Americanists is the inclusion of hard-to-find material and six original articles (those by Siskind, Gregor, Da Matta, Sorensen, Tavener and Saloman).

Daniel R. Gross received his doctorate in anthropology from Columbia University in 1970. He spent three years doing field research in Brazil. His major interests have been traditional society, religion and socioeconomic change in the arid northeastern region. More recently he has carried out a preliminary study of the ecological adaptation of the western Gaviões, a tropical forest tribe, in northern Brazil. He is now teaching at Hunter College of The City University of New York.
