Social Anthropology Seminar

Monday, 01 February 2016

Dr Marc Brightman, (University College London) & co-author Professor Vanessa Grotti (European University Institute in Florence) ‘’Indigenous networks and evangelical frontiers: problems with governance and problems with ethics in cases of ‘voluntary isolation’ in contemporary Amazonia‘’

In the last decade the expansion of the extractive frontier in Amazonia has precipitated a series of 'first contacts' with isolated indigenous groups. In this paper we describe the history of cycles of isolation and emergence in the Guiana region of northeastern Amazonia, which have largely been influenced by evangelical Christian missionary activity, with an important role being played by indigenous missionaries. We conclude by discussing the ethical dimensions of the question of contact.
