SUMMARY:Indigenous Alliance Making: Histories of Agency in Colonial Lowland South America with a focus on Makushi alliance in Guyana (James Andrew Whitaker, University of Southern Mississippi)
LOCATION:Lesc – salle 308F (3e étage) - 21\, allée de l’Université\, Nanterre\, \, 9
2000\, France
DESCRIPTION:
Since the colonial era, Indigenous people i
n lowland South America have formed alliances and partnerships with outside
rs within an array of different circumstances that range from trade and oth
er forms of economic exchange to missionization, warfare and predation. Dra
wing on historical encounters from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and Guyana, <
em>In
digenous Alliance Making: Histories of Agency in Colonial Lowland South Ame
rica (Whitaker & Harris ed., 2025) examines such cases across
the continent. It contributes to a growing historiographical emphasis on In
digenous strategic relations with outsiders and highlights how Indigenous p
eople have sought to steer or even control the content and direction of the
se relations despite adverse circumstances. This presentation will provide
an overview of the book with a particular focus on the final chapter, “Maku
shi Alliances in Guyana: Partnerships against Predation.” It will focus on
how Makushi people strived for mutualistic relations under circumstances va
riously characterized by symmetrical and asymmetrical dynamics. It will als
o explore how such ethnohistories can contribute to contemporary ethnograph
ic research with Indigenous groups in Amazonia.
La présentation sera
réalisée en anglais.

the final chapter, “Makushi Alliances in Guyana: Partnerships against Pred
