This book is an ethnographic study of the Parakanã, a little-known indigenous people of Amazonia, who inhabit the Xingu–Tocantins interfluve in the state of Pará, Brazil. Carlos Fausto analyzes the relationship between warfare and shamanism in Parakanã society from the late nineteenth century until the end of the twentieth century.
