Amazonian Kichwa of the Curaray River is an exploration of the
dynamics of regional societies and the ways in which kinship
relationships define the scale of these societies. It details
social relations across Kichwa-speaking indigenous communities and
among neighboring members of other ethnolinguistic groups to
explore the multiple ways in which the regional society is
conceptualized among Amazonian Kichwa. Drawing on recent studies in
kinship, landscape from an indigenous perspective, and social
scaling, Mary-Elizabeth Reeve presents a view of Amazonian Kichwa
as embedded in a multiethnic regional society of great historic
depth. This book is a fine-grained ethnography of the Kichwa of the
Curaray River region (Curaray Runa) in which Reeve focuses on ideas
of social landscape, as well as residence, extended kin groups,
historical memory, and collective ritual celebration, to show the
many ways in which Curaray Runa express their placement within a
regional society. The final chapter examines social scaling as it
is currently unfolding in indigenous societies in Amazonian Ecuador
through increasing multisited residence and political mobilization.
Based on intensive fieldwork, Amazonian Kichwa of the Curaray River
breaks new ground in Amazonian studies by focusing on extended
kinship networks at a larger scale and by utilizing both
ethnographic and archival research of Amazonian regional systems.
