Description

Pierre Clastres (1934-1979) was one of the most respected political anthropologists of our time.
Chronicle of the Guayaki Indians is an account of his first fieldwork in the early 1960s–an encounter with a small| unique| and now vanished Paraguayan tribe.
From “Birth” to “The End|” Clastres follows the Guayakis in their everyday lives| determined to record every detail of their history| ritual| myths| and culture in order to answer the many questions prompted by his personal experiences.
Now available for the first time in English in a beautiful translation by the novelist Paul Auster| Chronicle of the Guayaki Indians will alter radically not only the Western academic conventions in which other cultures are thought but also the discipline of political anthropology itself.
