The Living Ancestors: Shamanism, Cosmos and Cultural Change among the Yanomami of the Upper Orinoco
Zeljko Jokic
This ethnography focuses on Yanomami shamanism, especially in the context of cultural change. The author interweaves ethnographic material with theoretical components of a holographic principle, or the "part is equal to the whole." This book fills a gap in the study of Yanomami people and enriches understanding of this ancient phenomenon.
