AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article describes the manner in which the Shipibo have retained their cultural autonomy in the face of industrial activity from outside. Hoffman notes in this context that the growth of a local market for jungle products has actually heightened tribal cohesion. Also discussed in this study is how the historical experience of the Shipibo within recent centuries has been a major factor in their present adaptation to their physical and human environment (p. 259).
