Description

"Despite weakness of author's theoretical framework and frank liberation theology perspective, this second, revised edition of his 1983 study remains an extraordinary ethnography of the popular religiosity of the native peoples of the upper Peruvian Amazon. Following a historical and socioeconomic introduction, author focuses on the spirituality, ritual, and millenarianism that comprise Amazonian popular religion. Of special interest are the lengthy discourses of numerous informants, collections of oral traditions, and documents left by the Brotherhood of the Cross"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
