Property and ownership have special significance and carry specific meanings in Amazonia, which has been portrayed as the antithesis of Western, property-based, civilization. Through carefully constructed studies of land ownership, slavery, shamanism, spirit mastery, aesthetics, and intellectual property, this volume demonstrates that property relations are of central importance in Amazonia, and that the ownership of persons plays an especially significant role in native cosmology UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/28365/1/ch2.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/28365/1/ch2.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/28365/1/ch2.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/35667 ER -
