The Palm and the Pleiades: Initiation and Cosmology in Northwest Amazonia - Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Stephen Hugh-Jones
The book is an extended study in English of Amazonian ritual. Through an analysis of a secret men's cult widespread throughout Northwest Amazonia, Hugh-Jones builds up a general picture of a South American Indian society, and of a religious and cosmological system that is common to a large area of Northwest Amazonia.
