About This Item
London, UK: The Bodley Head, 1982. First Edition, First Thus . Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. Text/BRAND NEW. Green linen boards w/gilt spine lettering/Fine. DJ/Fine. PO name to fEP. The Yanomama Indians live between southern Venezuela and northern Brazil, and live in palm-thatched dwellings called "shabonos." This world is based on an anthropological field study, with a focus on witchcraft practices, of the Yanomamas, and hence the title. This narrative is a "subjective account" of surplus data. The protagnonists, the tribal name Iticoteri as well as characters portrayed are all fictious, but nevertheless shed light on the world order of this remote region.
