Description: "Structuralist analysis, inspired by the works of R. Jaulin and P. Clastres, examines system of relations among the Panoan Cashinawa (Huni Kuin) of the Peru/Brazil border. Organized around the central notions of self and other and their interrelations, which are interwoven through a dynamic system of complementary oppositions that define the parameters of kinship and alliance, gender relations, political economy, ritual and cosmology, and interethnic relations"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
