Overview

This volume, part of the Cambridge History of the Native Peoples of the
Americas, is the first major survey of research on the indigenous peoples of
South America from the earliest peopling of the continent to the present since
Julian Steward's Handbook of South American Indians was published half a century
ago. Although this volume concentrates on continental South America, peoples in
the Caribbean and lower Central America who were linguistically or culturally
connected are also discussed. This volume is an 'idea-oriented history,'
emphasizing the development of general themes instead of presenting every group
and society. Indigenous peoples' own stories of the past are used as well as the
standard accounts written by outsiders. Research is presented following regional
and conceptual frameworks; some chapters overlap or present differing
interpretations. The volume's emphasis is on self-perceptions of the indigenous
peoples of South America at various times and under differing
situations.
