5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-read for any student of Ecuador's upper Napo region.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Life and Times of Grandfather Alonso: Culture and History in the Upper Amazon (Hegemony and Experience) (Paperback)
Dr. Muratorio does an excellent job at combining first person oral narratives with a well-researched historical discussion and critique of the Pano Runa of Ecuador's upper Napo region. Employing James Scott's model of resistance, Muratorio demonstrates how the Runa have employed diverse strategies to struggle against hegemonic forces from missionaries and rubber barons, to the assimilationist state apparatus. The book highlights the cultural value of the Rucuyaya or grandfather, and laments the disaggregation of traditional family structures under the constraints of new economic arrangements. The book was originally published in Spanish under the title "Rucuyaya Alonso."
