Description
"The Sanema are an Indigenous people living in Venezuelan Amazonia whose lives increasingly intersect with forces outside their forest homeland, including those of oil extraction, gold mining, and a market economy. This ethnography focuses on predation as understood though Sanema cosmology and history, which incorporate ideas of trickery, mimicry, supplication, and seduction as they relate to predatory others, to investigate consumer goods and labor; government administrators as sorcerers/raiders; "conjuring" (i.e., meeting with) the state when oil wealth made it more generous; bureaucracy; and the seductive nature of resources such as oil, gasoline, and gold"--,Provided by publisher.
