Children of the Rainforest explores the lives of children growing
up in a time of radical change in Amazonia. The book draws on
ethnographic fieldwork conducted with the Matses, a group of
hunter-gatherer forest dwellers who have lived in voluntary
isolation until fairly recently. Having worked with them for over a
decade, returning every year to their villages in the rainforest,
Camilla Morelli follows closely the life-trajectories of Matses
children, watching them shift away from the forest-based lifestyles
of their elders and move towards new horizons crisscrossed by
concrete paving, lit by the glow of electric lights and television
screens, and centered around urban practices and people. The book
uses drawings and photographs taken by the children themselves to
trace the children’s journeys—lived and imagined—from their
own perspectives, proposing an ethnographic analysis that
recognizes children’s imaginations, play, and shifting desires as
powerful catalysts of social change.
