Combining archival research, oral history and long-term
ethnography, this book studies relations between Amerindians and
outsiders, such as American missionaries, through a series of
contact expeditions that led to the 'pacification' of three native
Amazonian groups in Suriname and French Guiana. The author examines
and contrasts Amerindian and non-Amerindian views on this process
of social transformation through the lens of the body, notions of
peacefulness and kinship, as well as native warfare and shamanism.
The book addresses questions of change and continuity, and the
little explored links between first contacts, capture and native
conversion to Christianity in contemporary indigenous Amazonia.
