Landscapes of Devils Tensions of Place and Memory in the Argentinean Chaco Paperback - 2004
by Gastón R. Gordillo; Gastón R. Gordillo
From the rear cover
"Gaston R. Gordillo has written a superb book about the complex, contradictory world of the Toba of the Argentinean Chaco. Especially memorable is the manner in which he demonstrates the contextual, shifting nature of the meaning of the various places and spaces, activities and imaginings, figures and fetishes that have made up the Toba world ever since the time of the 'ancient ones.' He unravels the historical experiences and the memories that configure everyday practices in a world beset by devils--and by some of the less enviable effects of an especially avaricious capitalist economy on its contract laborers. While it is situated in a remote part of South America, this is a work of global importance in both its historical and its theoretical reach."--John Comaroff, University of Chicago
