This book explores the complicated and confusing linkages between memory and trauma for individuals caught up in civil war and post-conflict reconciliation in the Peruvian Amazon's Huallaga Valley—an epicenter for leftist rebels and a booming shadow economy based on the extraction and circulation of cocaine. The End of the Future tells the story of the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement's (Movimiento Revolucionario Túpac Amaru, MRTA) violent attempts to overthrow the state in the late 1980s and early 1990s from the perspective of the poorest residents of the lower Huallaga's Caynarachi Basin.

To give context to the causes and consequences of the MRTA's presence in the lower and central Huallaga, a poorly documented part of the Peruvian Amazon, the book relies on the written works and testimony of Sístero García Torres, an MRTA rebel commander, the government's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, MRTA propaganda, media accounts, and critical historical texts. Besides exposing Huallaga Valley human rights abuses, the book's contribution to political anthropology is consequential for its insistence that reconciliation is by no means equivalent to local, indigenous notions of "justice" or customary forms of dispute resolution. Without deliberately addressing the diverse socio-cultural contours defining overlapping epistemologies of justice, freedom, and communal wellbeing, enduring reconciliation will likely remain elusive.

In Urarina Society, Cosmology, and History in Peruvian Amazonia, Bartholomew Dean manages to both document the lifeways of one of Peru's least known indigenous societies and offer a master class in the major themes of contemporary Amazonian research." "Dean adds a phenomenological dimension to the project by emphasizing the Urarina's own understandings of exchange and how these articulate --or fail to articulate-- with those of the region’s nonindigenous population." "Readers more interested in theory and historical synthesis than in ethnographic detail will admire the author’s command of a vast bibliography and his nuanced assessment of a range of interpretive strategies." "When Dean pushes theory into the background and lets the Urarina speak in their own words, their predicament is laid bare in ways that can be profoundly moving." Journal of Anthropological Research vol. 66 "A lucid intervention into a series of debates that have occupied the anthropological imagination for quite some time… a fascinating account of the ambivalent ways and means by which the Uranina - a stereotypically "isolated Amazonian people - articulate their local sense of self with social actors of broader reach and greater power" American Anthropologist "A thought provoking ethnography that returns our attention to he quotidian realities of indigenous social, cultural, and political-economic reproduction in the context of ongoing colonial violences…In addition to its rich ethnographic work, the book offers for specialist and student alike a survey of the central theoretical debates of the field."

Drawing on case studies from Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas, the contributors investigate how political organization, natural resource management, economic development, and conflicting definitions over cultural, linguistic, religious, and territorial identity have informed indigenous strategies for empowerment.

The growing rate of T2D in the global south has been attributed to greater access to industrial foods and sedentary lifestyles ensuant of rapid urbanization. In Amazonia, people migrate from rural communities to urban hubs searching for socioeconomic opportunities. As a result, prevalence of T2D and obesity has rapidly increased in these cities. Our study compared the diabetes status of people living in Yurimaguas (YU) with those living in traditional rural villages in the Balsapuerto District (BD), Peru, to understand health differences between rural and urban Amazonians. Methods Participants were recruited in YU (M/F = 114/52) and 11 rural villages in BD (F/M = 92/77). We collected blood pressure, glucose, insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin (A1c), lipids panels, and body measurements. T2D status was determined using ADA guidelines for A1c and gluco...

The increase in T2D in the global south has been linked to the availability of processed foods and a lack of physical activity because of rapid urbanization. In Amazonia, people migrate from rural areas to cities, hoping to find better economic opportunities. As a result, Amazonian cities have experienced a sharp rise in the prevalence of T2D and obesity. Our study compared the diabetes status of people living in Yurimaguas (YU) with those living in traditional rural villages in the Balsapuerto District (BD), Peru, to understand the health differences between rural and urban Amazonians.

Basándose en datos recogidos a través del registro de testimonios de mujeres que han experimentado violencia y discriminación, Alcalde desarrolla su argumento convincentemente. En tal sentido, este trabajo contribuye a enriquecer y complejizar el argumento más general según el cual la ...

Cargadores are as familiar in Andean marketplaces as rickshaw pullers are in Asia. We listen to the exceptionally thoughtful stories of Gregorio and Asunta (each is about 60 years old) as they articulate their experiences from about 1930 to 1971, reminisce about life, and give us telling comments on a society in which they occupy the lowest rung in the Peruvian social ladder. Both of them escaped oppressive conditions in rural estates (haciendas). Gregorio's life was a roving one: he moved about the countryside, shifted from one exploitative working condition to the next, suffered innumerable indignities and injustices, and remembered them with remarkable clarity-and often bittersweet humor. Gregorio worked as a shepherd, as an agricultural laborer, and as a gold washer in the jungles east of Cusco. He became assimilated in mestizo households as a servant, was conscripted in the Peruvian army, and was also jailed. Before joining with Asunta in old age, he had been married twice and had had numerous compadres who had at times protected him, and at others mistreated him. He knew how he would die: with failing eyesight and hearing, bearing a heavy burden, he would be run over by a car and end his life, unrecognized, on a cold cement slab in the city morgue. Asunta describes an epidemic that killed most of her family and tells of escaping from her mother, who had beat Asunta in frustration at her daughter's mishaps that cost nine days of labor obligation at the milk shed of the hacienda where they were serfs. In Cusco, Asunta survived as a domestic servant and later, when she became pregnant (which had to be kept secret lest the mistress of the house find out and throw her out), she was obliged to follow her man, who was a drunk and beat her. He was a peddler and a laborer on road construction and mining crews. Asunta eventually left him to set up her own food vending business in the market, where she met Gregorio as one of her customers. Of seven painful pregnancies, Asunta had only one daughter who survived childhood. Asunta is constantly terrorized by memories of the many evictions she suffered.
