Original titleYuqui: Forest Nomads in a Changing World (Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology)
This book examines the effects of 20th century social and cultural changes on the Yuqui, a group of fewer than 100 nomadic foragers who've survived without houses or the ability to produce fire. Recently contacted by missionaries, the Yuqui now face enormous pressures from outside developers and other forces of modernization.
