The first book to address the classic anthropological theme of
property through the ethnography of Amazonia, Ownership and Nurture
sets new and challenging terms for anthropological debates about
the region and about property in general. Property and ownership
have special significance and carry specific meanings in Amazonia,
which has been portrayed as the antithesis of Western,
property-based, civilization. Through carefully constructed studies
of land ownership, slavery, shamanism, spirit mastery, aesthetics,
and intellectual property, this volume demonstrates that property
relations are of central importance in Amazonia, and that the
ownership of persons plays an especially significant role in native
cosmology.
