Getting to Know Waiwai

<p>Living with the Wayapi, and their charismatic leader Waiwai, is a serious adventure. It is demanding, and can turn dangerous in a moment. The environment is a difficult one, but beautiful and baffling in its richness. And the job of learning about the people is like a journey without end.<br>Alan Campbell tells the story of these people, and of the time he spent with them, in an imaginative, beautifully written account which looks back from a century into the future to relate a way of life that is being destroyed. In doing so, he addresses important and complex issues in current anthroplogical theory in a way which makes them accessible without sacrificing any of their subtlety.</p> Chapter 1 Telling Names; Chapter 2 At Long Hammock; Chapter 3 Other Voices; Chapter 4 Romance; Chapter 5 Four, Fire, and Giving; Chapter 6 Remembering; Chapter 7 Submitting; Chapter 8 Aima;
