Magic and Meaning in an Amazonian Society

University of Alabama Press

 "An outstanding and innovative study on hunting, gardening, and love magic among the Aguaruna. . . . [It is] both highly useful ethnographically and an important contribution to the understanding of how a primitive culture conceptualizes its transactions with nature. The book touches on cosmology and religion as well as the ethnoecology of hunting and agriculture--with an interlude on sex."

--American Ethnologist

Michael F. Brown is Lambert Professor of Anthropology and Chair, Department of Anthropology and Sociology at Williams College. He is the author of numerous works including Who Owns Native Culture?
