About this book

"Religious ethnography focuses on the Arawak-speaking Machiguenga of the eastern Peruvian Amazon. Religion is understood as a system of orientation to reality and meaning, and is explored through classification of being, conceptions of sickness and health, and the central role of shamanism. Extensive appendix contains a collection of myth summaries"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
