This book follows the adventures of anthropoligst Florinda Donner as she experiences, firsthand, the wild mystery and slow destruction of an indigenous tribe in the endangered rainforest. Her rich images of daily life as she lives with the Yanomama in their shabonos, or palm-thatched dwellings, and the magic of ritual in this native village portray a world threatened by extinction. Florinda Donner is the author of Being in Dreaming and The Witch's Dream.
