The Struggle for Amazon Town: Gurupa Revisited

Rating:
Summary: The book is well-researched, relevant, and easily read.
Review: Dr. Pace did an excellent job of making current anthropological issues in the Amazon available in a clear, concise and easily digested book. I especially enjoyed the simplicity with which the intricate web of economics, ecology, poloitics, and class issues was detailed. The book is loaded with information gathered from local inhabitants from rural peasants to urban politicians. Sufficient background is provided to make sense of current issues and help in understanding the processes at work in the Amazon.

Summary: this is a great book for anyone interested.
