Native blowguns and national guns: The Achuar Jivaroans and the dialectics of power in the Peruvian Amazon

The Achuar are still generally considered one of the most isolated and, except the Huambisa, possibly least known sub-groups of the Jivaroan cultural and linguistic family. On the basis of an uninterrupted research, conducted from October, 1980 through September, 1983 among the Achuar Jivaroans of the Peruvian Upper Amazon, the processes of asymmetrical interdependence between this native population and the expansionist national-multinational fronts are explored with particular attention to the dialectics and strategies of power.
