Amazonian Caboclo Society

Amazonian Caboclo Society by Taylor & Francis Ltd delves into the intricate dynamics of peasant society in the Brazilian Amazon. Published in 1993, this insightful hardback spans 306 pages and offers a fresh perspective on the often-overlooked caboclos, who are peasants of mixed ancestry. Unlike much anthropological research in the region that primarily focuses on Indigenous groups, this work shines a light on the caboclos, revealing their significance and the complexities of their existence. The book challenges the notion that caboclos are merely remnants of Amazonia's chaotic development, positioning them as a vital part of the cultural and social fabric of the region. Ideal for scholars and enthusiasts of anthropology and Brazilian studies, Amazonian Caboclo Society is a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of this unique society.
