Book Synopsis
Contains a study of the ritual performances of the Kayabi, a Brazilian indigenous people, during the 1990s. Kayabi rituals are distinct in that they center on the autobiographical narratives of living people. This book discusses these autobiographical performances in the context of shamanic cures, mortuary rites, and political oratory.

Trade Review
“Oakdale writes in an extremely clear and jargon-free style, and her book would be ideal for undergraduate courses. . . . The clarity of Oakdale’s analysis enables readers to focus on the essential points of difficult ideas, making her book a productive guide to the contemporary cultures and politics of indigenous Amazonia.”—Michael L. Cepek, Journal of Anthropological Research
