Beyond the Visible and the Material - The Amerindianization of Society in the Work of Peter Riviere (Paperback, New)

This volume explores the legacy of Peter Rivière, recently-retired Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Oxford, in the development of the anthropology of Amazonia. An international group of leading specialists contributes to the substantial and growing body of Amazonian ethnography, discussing topics which include kinship and genealogy, the village as a unit of ethnographic observation and analysis, the human body in political and social processes, and gender relationships as aspects of political cosmological thinking.
