Examines the formation of self among the Urarina, an Amazonian people of lowland Peru. Based on detailed ethnography, this title highlights the role of intimate but asymmetrical attachments and dependencies which begin in the womb, but can extend beyond human society to include a variety of animals, plants, spirits and material objects.
