The result is a sophisticated interrogation of the ways we normally think about indigenous Amazonian cultures and a productive challenge to anthropology as a whole.\"--Donald Pollock, State University of New York, Buffalo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on recent ethnographic fieldwork and firsthand analysis of indigenous history, this collection examines the concepts of time and change as they played out in areas ranging from religion, cosmology, and mortuary practices to attitudes toward ethnic difference and the treatment of animals. Without imposing traditionally Western notions of what \"time\" and \"change\" mean, the collection looks at how native Amazonians experienced forms of cultural memory and at how their narratives of the past helped construct their sense of the present and, inevitably, their own identity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume offers some of the most interesting and nuanced discussions to date on Amazonian conceptualizations of temporality and change.\u003cp\u003eCarlos Fausto, associate professor of anthropology at the Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, is the author of \u003ci\u003eWarfare and Shamanism in Amazonia\u003c\/i\u003e.
