Kaj Århem is a professor of social anthropology at the
University of Göteborg, Sweden and the author of four other books,
including Makuna Social Organization.
Diego Samper is a prominent Colombian photographer who has
visited and worked with the Makuna since 1977.
“Stunning photographs, 95 color, nine b&w, of Amazonian rain
forests by Diego Samper give Makuna: Portrait of an Amazonian
People more depth than the typical anthropological study.
Sociologist Kaj Århem, who has visited the Makuna frequently since
1972, provides a compelling narrative as well, with in-depth
accounts of Makuna culture, creation myths, and the inevitable
challenges of the encroaching world.”—Publishers Weekly
“Highly recommended for both public and academic
libraries.”—Library Journal
“Samper’s often spectacular photos of the Makuna and their
environment also span nearly two decades of work.”—Journal of
Anthropological Research
