Publisher's Synopsis

The Urarina are an indigenous group found in the Peruvian lowlands. Seemingly isolated, they actually have a long history of engaging in networks of trade with outside groups, argues Bartholomew Dean in this first ever ethnography of the group.Based on more than a decade of field research in Peru, Dean's analysis explores kinship and power, the exchange of goods, land use, and the importance of narcotic trance, myths, and shamanic wizardry.
