'The book provides a clear answer to the question of how the natives live their history and their present' Rodrigo Montoya, University of Cambridge, Latin American Studies, Volume 25
'The analysis is rich and insightful" American Anthropologist
`Explorant cette terra incognita entre la culture nationale et les cultures tribales indig^enees des pays andins, ce livre aborde donc des questions cruciales non seulement pour l'amazonisme contemporain, mais pour la discipline en g^en^eral ... L'une des principales qualit^es de ce livre, ^a l'^ecriture claire et discr^ete, est la subtili^e de ses notations ... Un livre qui suscite donc des questions importantes et retient constamment, par sa subtilit^e et son imagination, l'int^er^et du lecteur. l'Homme
