The State and the Awajun: Frontier Expansion in the Upper Amazon,
1541-1990 demonstrates how the indigenous people of Amazonia have
been subjected to a series of regional, national, and international
socioeconomic and political processes that have shaped their lives.
The text explores how extractive economies in Amazonia have
provided fleeting periods of elite prosperity, but ultimately at
the expense of the regions biocultural diversity. Beginning in 1541
and progressing chronologically, the text details significant
instances of conquest, resistance, development, and policy.
Students learn about the Awajun people and the indigenous policies
that have impacted their lives and land since early encounters with
explorers and missionaries. The text addresses colonial social
control, Juan de Salinas Loyola and the conquest of the upper
Amazon, the emergence of the Peruvian nation-state, and the
geo-politics of Amazonian frontier expansion. The effect of
populism on indigenous policy, military colonization, and the
dynamics of contemporary Awajun society are also addressed, among
other critical topics. The State and the Awajun is an ideal text
for courses in anthropology and South American history, especially
those with focus on the social and political effects of frontier
expansion.
