In 1884 a community of Brazilians was """"discovered"""" by the Western world. The Ecology of Powerexamines these indigenous people from the Upper Xingu region, a group who even today are one of the strongest examples of long-term cultural continuity. Drawing upon written and oral history, ethnography, and archaeology, Heckenberger addresses the difficult issues facing anthropologists today as they """"uncover"""" the muted voices of indigenous peoples and provides a fascinating portrait of a unique community of people who have in a way become living cultural artifacts. | The Ecology of Power by Michael J.
