Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A vivid portrait of how divine and human intimacies sustain colonization in the Amazon.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A vivid portrait of how divine and human intimacies sustain colonization in the Amazon. On Brazil's Amazonian frontier, settlers pursue land and opportunity, but they also gather for prayer and pilgrimage, yearning for a deep relationship with God and one another. In this book, anthropologist Ashley Lebner examines how everyday religious practices and feelings, what she calls a mystic of friendship, shape and sustain colonization in the Amazon. Lebner invites us to a stretch of highway in Para, Brazil, where violent colonization coexists with prophetic dreams, Afro-Brazilian prayers, and emerging evangelicalism. She shows how, amid political tensions and physical hardship, settlers believe that the violence they experience and enact derives from the bestial nature of earthly life that must be overcome. In exposing a desire for divinely-infused friendship that animates colonization, Lebner offers a powerful new perspective on the forces driving colonialism as much as religious and political expression. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
