As Amazonian forms of social memory merge with constructions of masculinity and other intercultural processes, the Waorani absorb missionaries, oil development, and logging depredations into their legacy of revenge killings and narratives of victimhood. High shows how these memories of past violence form sites of negotiation and cultural innovation, and thus violence comes to constitute a central part of Amazonian sociality, identity, and memory.Interpretations of Culture in the New MillenniumHuao IndiansEcuadorEthnic identityHuao IndiansEcuadorSocial conditionsHuao IndiansWarsViolenceEcuadorEthnic relationsEcuadorEcuadorEthnic relationsHuao IndiansEthnic identity.Huao IndiansSocial conditions.Huao IndiansWars.ViolenceEthnic relations305.8009866High Casey1977-1188937MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796929303321Victims and warriors3777363UNINA
