- Summary:
- This book is based on 12 years of the author's ethnographic fieldwork among the Mapuche people of southern Chile. In an attempt to rethink social relations from a rural Mapuche perspective, Course (social anthropology, University of Edinburgh) offers an account of Mapuche social philosophy as it is lived. He describes structures of kinship and friendship, examines significant social events in Mapuche life, and looks at the changing relationship between Mapuche groups and the Chilean state. The book includes b&w photos and a glossary of terms from the Mapuche language. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
