Translating Worlds, Defending Land Collaborations for Indigenous Rights and Environmental Politics in Amazonia

"Casey High offers us a brilliant ethnography in the form of fluid and intimate writing, which makes the book a page turner. What we see in these pages is the inauguration of a new line of anthropological reflection, in which collaboration between anthropologists and Indigenous people ceases to be a simple method and becomes the very object of analysis."
-Aparecida Vilaça, Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro "In this thought-provoking meditation on the dynamics of collaboration, Casey High explores what it means for anthropology and anthropologists when our epistemic partners start doing ethnography their own way, for their own ends."
-Stuart Kirsch, University of Michigan "Narrating in Waorani lands (that are also Ecuadorian), this strong and delicate ethnography also narrates us. Relentlessly written from a 'complex we' the stories it tells make it clear that 'we' have interlocutors and are interlocutors and that therefore, 'we' tell stories about 'them' that are also about 'us'... ethnographic relations as moebius strip!"
