In 1913, ethnologist and explorer William Curtis Farabee set out to
document the Arawak tribes of northern Brazil and southern British
Guiana, a three-year journey that led him far into the unmapped
regions of the Amazon River basin. His meticulous observations
comprise The Central Arawaks, first published in 1918 and still one
of the most comprehensive accounts of the peoples living along the
northern tributaries of the Amazon River. The Wapisiana, Ataroi,
Taruma, and Mapidian tribes numbered fewer than 1,500 at the time
of Farabee's voyage; his detailed record of their daily life
preserves a vision of these vulnerable cultures at a crucial point
in their history, offering insight into their languages, social
structures, and cosmologies. A testament to an ethnologist whose
achievements were once hailed as 'monumental', this reissued
edition also brings renewed attention to William Farabee, whose
influence on Anglo-American anthropological exploration is still
felt today.
