The Rise and Fall of the Amazon Rubber Industry An Historical Anthropology

The Rise and Fall of the Amazon Rubber Industry An Historical Anthropology

In this engaging book Stephen Nugent offers an in-depth historical anthropology of a widely recognised feature of the Amazon region examining the dramatic rise and fall of the rubber industry. He considers rubber in the Amazon from the perspective of a long-term extractive industry that linked remote forest tappers to technical innovations central to the industrial transformation of Europe and North America emphasizing the links between the social landscape of Amazonia and the global economy. Through a critical examination focused on the rubber industry Nugent addresses myths that continue to influence perceptions of Amazonia. The book challenges widely held assumptions about the hyper-naturalism of the ‘lost world’ of the Amazon where ‘the challenge of the tropics’ is still to be faced and the ‘frontiers of development’ are still to be settled. It is relevant for students and scholars of anthropology Latin American studies history political ecology geography and development studies. | The Rise and Fall of the Amazon Rubber Industry An Historical Anthropology

Development Banks and Sustainability in the Andean Amazon

Development Banks and Sustainability in the Andean Amazon

This book explores what development banks governments and communities have learned in the last decade of careful negotiation between social and environmental protections in the Andean Amazon and the pressures of a surging infrastructure and development boom. While mega-dams highways and ports are filling up the pipelines of planners the national governments of Andean and Amazon-basin countries and major development banks have enacted ambitious social and environmental protections. The book traces the development of social and environmental protections after years of struggle by affected communities going beyond official policies to discover how these reforms work in practice and ultimately whether they are enough to stem the risks of infrastructure mega-projects. As Chinese public banks play an increasingly important role in the region the book also demonstrates that there is a risk of governments undercutting their own standards. By contrast this book shows that making infrastructure work for everyone involved requires mutually reinforcing networks of support and accountability among communities governments and development banks. This book led by an expert multi-disciplinary international team will be of considerable interest to researchers in the fields of development and development economics geography anthropology and ecology as well as practitioners in development banks and in government regulatory and foreign aid agencies. | Development Banks and Sustainability in the Andean Amazon

Remaking Indigeneity in the Amazon Christianity Colonization and the State

Remaking Indigeneity in the Amazon Christianity Colonization and the State

Drawing on archival and ethnographic work this book analyzes how indigeneity Christianity and state-making became intertwined in the Colombian Amazon throughout the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century the state gave Catholic missionaries tutelage over Indigenous groups and their territories but in the case of the Colombian Amazon this tutelage was challenged by evangelical missionaries that arrived in the region in the 1940s with different ideas of civilization and social change. Indigenous conversion to evangelical Christianity caused frictions with other actors while Indigenous groups perceived conversion as way of leverage with settlers. This book shows how evangelical Christianity shaped new forms of indigeneity that did not coincide entirely with the ideas of civilization or development that Catholic missionaries and the state promoted in the region. Since the 1960s the state adapted development policies and programs to Indigenous realities and practices while Indigenous societies appropriated evangelical Christianity in order to navigate the changes brought on by colonization modernity and state-formation. This study demonstrates that not all projects of civilization were the same in Amazonia nor was missionization of Indigenous groups always subordinate to the state or resource extraction. | Remaking Indigeneity in the Amazon Christianity Colonization and the State

Brazil and Climate Change Beyond the Amazon

Brazil and Climate Change Beyond the Amazon

Climate change is increasingly a part of the human experience. As the problem worsens the cooperative dilemma that the issue carries has become evident: climate change is a complex problem that systematically gets insufficient answers from the international system. This book offers an assessment of Brazil’s role in the global political economy of climate change. The authors Eduardo Viola and Matías Franchini expertly review and answer the most common and widely cited questions on whether and in which way Brazil is aggravating or mitigating the climate crisis including: Is it the benign cooperative environmental power that the Brazilian government claims it is? Why was it possible to dramatically reduce deforestation in the Amazon (2005-2010) and more recently was there a partial reversion? The book provides an accessible—and much needed—introduction to all those studying the challenges of the international system in the Anthropocene. Through a thorough analysis of Brazil in perspective vis a vis other emerging countries this book provides an engaging introduction and up to date assessment of the climate reality of Brazil and a framework to analyze the climate performance of major economies both on emission trajectory and policy profile: the climate commitment approach. Brazil and Climate Change is essential reading for all students of Environmental Studies Latin American Studies International Relations and Comparative Politics. | Brazil and Climate Change Beyond the Amazon

Guardians of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest: Environmental Organizations and Development

Guardians of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest: Environmental Organizations and Development

The Amazon region is the focus of intense conflict between conservationists concerned with deforestation and advocates of agro-industrial development. This book focuses on the contributions of environmental organizations to the preservation of Brazilian Amazonia. It reveals how environmental organizations such as Greenpeace Friends of the Earth WWF and others have fought fiercely to stop deforestation in the region. It documents how the history of frontier expansion and environmental struggle in the region is linked to Brazil’s position in an evolving capitalist world-economy. It is shown how Brazil’s effort to become a developed country has led successive Brazilian governments to devise development projects for Amazonia. The author analyses how globalization has led to the expansion of international commodity chains in the region particularly for mineral ores soybeans and beef. He shows how environmental organizations have politicized these commodity chains as weapons of conservation through boycotting certain products while other pro-development groups within Brazil claim that such organizations threaten Brazil's sovereignty over its own resources. | Guardians of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest: Environmental Organizations and Development

Kabbalistic Visions C. G. Jung and Jewish Mysticism

Kabbalistic Visions C. G. Jung and Jewish Mysticism

In 1944 C. G. Jung experienced a series of visions which he later described as the most tremendous things I have ever experienced. Central to these visions was the mystic marriage as it appears in the Kabbalistic tradition and Jung’s experience of himself as Rabbi Simon ben Jochai the presumed author of the sacred Kabbalistic text the Zohar. Kabbalistic Visions explores Jung’s 1944 Kabbalistic visions the impact of Jewish mysticism on Jungian psychology Jung’s archetypal interpretation of Kabbalistic symbolism and his claim late in life that a Hasidic rabbi the Maggid of Mezhirech anticipated his entire psychology. This book places Jung’s encounter with the Kabbalah in the context of the earlier visions and meditations of his Red Book his abiding interests in Gnosticism and alchemy and what many regard to be his Anti-Semitism and flirtation with National Socialism. Kabbalistic Visions is the first full-length study of Jung and Jewish mysticism in any language and the first book to present a comprehensive Jungian/archetypal interpretation of Kabbalistic symbolism. | Kabbalistic Visions C.

The Apocalypse of the Reluctant Gnostics Carl G. Jung and Philip K. Dick

The Apocalypse of the Reluctant Gnostics Carl G. Jung and Philip K. Dick

This book presents a comparison of the Gnostic worldviews of Carl G. Jung and science-fiction author Philip K. Dick two figures who have done far more than most to revive an interest in the Gnostic tradition in the modern world. Despite profoundly different approaches - one was a depth psychologist whose unique insights and approach to psychology forced him to explore the depths of the unconscious in a way that inevitably led him to touch frequently on metaphysical or spiritual matters; the other was an author of science-fiction - there are some striking parallels between their unique Gnostic visions. With the relatively recent publication of both Jung's and Dick's personal journals - The Red Book (2009) and The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick (2011) respectively - in which they articulate their Gnostic visions it seems timely to make this comparison. | The Apocalypse of the Reluctant Gnostics Carl G. Jung and Philip K. Dick
