Sanuma Memoirs by Alcida Rita Ramos
This text provides an anthropological account of the Yanomami and their social organisation, kinship and marriage, moving from the microcosm of individual experience to the broader sociological trends that engulf them. It draws on extensive fieldwork among the Sanuma.
