Intimate Frontiers: A Literary Geography of the Amazon analyzes the
ways in which the Amazon has been represented in twentieth century
cultural production. With contributions by scholars working in
Latin America, the US and Europe, Intimate Frontiers reads against
the grain commonly held notions about the region -its gigantism,
its richness, its exceptionality, among other- choosing to approach
these rather from quotidian, everyday experiences of a more
intimate nature. The multinational, pluriethnic corpus of texts
critically examined here, explores a wide range of cultural
artifacts including travelogues, diaries, and novels about the
rubber boom genocide, as well as indigenous oral histories,
documentary films, and photography about the region. The different
voices gathered in this book show that the richness of the Amazon
lays not in its natural resources or opportunities for economic
exploit, but in the richness of its histories/stories in the form
of songs, oral histories, images, material culture, and texts.
