AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This monograph is largely concerned with an evaluation of missionary and other reports concerning the Jivaro, tempered with the writer's own findings After a general location of the tribal groups, Rivet relates how attempts at subjugation and conversion failed miserably from early in the 16th century to the very early 20th century The article is a typical product of factual ethnographic reporting in the early 20th century Theoretical analyses are shallow, and the reader has a feeling that much has been left unsaid and unnoticed
