Sinossi
Over the last two decades the indigenous movement has grown into an international force, forcing organizations such as the United Nations and the International Labour Organisation to take notice of its concerns. For the Arakmbut people, this increasing consciousness has enabled them to successfully resist the encroachment of Western civilisation, including the exploitation of their land for gold mining. Gray argues, however, that their struggle should not be viewed simply as a legal and political one. The Arakmbut derive their legitimacy from the spiritual world rather than the judicial system, and unless we recognize this, their unique culture will remain invisible. This book effectively enables us to achieve such an understanding, and as such is an invaluable sourcebook for all those concerned with indigenous rights.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Arakmbut are an indigenous people who live in the Madre de Dios region of the southeastern Peruvian rain forest. Since their first encounters with missionaries in the 1950s, they have shown resilience and a determination to affirm their identity in the face of many difficulties. During the last fifteen years, Arakmbut survival has been under threat from a goldrush that has attracted hundreds of colonists onto their territories. This trilogy of books traces the ways in which the Arakmbut overcome the dangers that surround them: their mythology and cultural strength; their social flexibility; and their capacity to incorporate non-indigenous concepts and activities into their defence strategies. Each area is punctuated by the constant presence of the invisible spirit, which provides a seamless theme connecting the books to eachother. Over a period of about two decades the indigenous movement has grown into an international force, making a marked impact on the United Nations and the International Labor Organization. In this volume, the author looks at the growing consciousness among the Arakmbut who are increasingly demanding that their rights to their territories and resources should be respected in tandem with the growing development of indigenous rights internationally. However, the author points to a significant difference of perception: whereas non-indigenous human-rights legislation receives its legitimacy by judicial means, the Arakmbut find their legal system legitimized through the spirit world. The invisibility of this world makes it appear non-existent to non-indigenous observers. However, to overlook its importance prevents outsiders from understanding and appreciating its significance in the Arakmbut struggle for survival. Buy all three volumes for 20% discount. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR012813899
