"Important study examines peasant/caboclo society of the lower Brazilian Amazon, a largely neglected population in the anthropological literature on Amazonia. After discussing various representations of caboclos as 'marginal societies,' analysis focuses on local community organization, economic processes, and their relation to national development. Finally, author discusses implications of recent proposals for sustainable development for deconstructing the 'invisibility' of the caboclo"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
