Vozes afroamazônidas
“A escrita tornou-se ferramenta fundante para conhecimento e a interação com o mundo, portanto a execução do projeto Samaúma Literária foi o momento saudável do qual buscou-se respiros no pulmão do mundo, dialogou-se com mulheres sábias da floresta, das águas, dos terreiros, das academias (...). Tecendo textos, falando de si, buscando estímulos para continuar na luta com dignidade, com equidade e sem racismo, que foi tecendo a Vida” ( Luci Chrispim Pinho Micaela).
The Weeping Wood
The Weeping Wood is an exhaustive compilation of the lurid history and endless greed of industry for rubber. From the discovery of Cahuchu, the horrible abuse of natives to harvest it, to the behavior of industry giants such as Goodyear, Summit, and others, to the plight of the workers in tire factories, and finally to World War II, when it became crucial to make synthetic rubber. All of the atrocities and ugliness that accompanies this history are documented in sections that take you through the years with a variety of characters from all different perspectives.

A Grammar of Kulina
This book is a reference grammar of Kulina, an Amazonian language spoken in Brazil and Peru. The dialect described by the author is spoken on the upper Purus River in the Brazilian state of Acre. Kulina belongs to the Arawan language family. It is predominantly head-marking and has a complex verbal morphology which is largely agglutinating with some instances of fusion. The language has two noun classes and two genders. The gender agreement of transitive verbs with their arguments is in part governed by intricate grammatical rules and in part pragmatically driven. There are three types of possession, alienable, inalienable, and kinship. The latter category only applies to some kinship nouns, while others are alienably possessed. Kulina has aspirated and unaspirated obstruents, but different aspirated obstruents do not co-occur in one morpheme due to Grassmann's law, a dissimilation process known from Sanskrit and Ancient Greek. The book contains two Kulina texts and a chapter on the lexicon, which discusses colour terms, generic nouns for plants and animals, pet vocatives, idioms, and the origin of loan words.
Ownership and Nurture
The first book to address the classic anthropological theme of property through the ethnography of Amazonia, Ownership and Nurture sets new and challenging terms for anthropological debates about the region and about property in general. 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.
