Contrary to ingrained academic and public assumptions, wherein
indigenous lowland South American societies are viewed as the
product of historical emplacement and spatial stasis, there is
widespread evidence to suggest that migration and displacement have
been the norm, and not the exception. This original and
thought-provoking collection of case studies examines some of the
ways in which migration, and the concomitant processes of
ecological and social change, have shaped and continue to shape
human-environment relations in Amazonia. Drawing on a wide range of
historical time frames (from pre-conquest times to the present) and
ethnographic contexts, different chapters examine the complex and
important links between migration and the classification,
management, and domestication of plants and landscapes, as well as
the incorporation and transformation of environmental knowledge,
practices, ideologies and identities.
