Areruya is a fascinating ethnography that will appeal to undergraduates of religious studies and anthropology interested in the anthropology of shamanism and sorcery in Amazonia. The text will also be of interest to graduate students in anthropology, particularly those specializing in Amazonia and the anthropology of Lowland South America. * Nova Religio * [The] book gives insights into ways in which Indigenous religions and Christian missions have historically interacted. It highlights different factors impacting emic and etic perceptions of body, spirit and personhood, and ways in which religious agency can be expressed and adapted especially in times of crisis and change. * BASR Bulletin * ’A subtle and highly ingenious account of how people in Amazonia have created a cosmos, according to their own prophets, that sustains their sense of themselves in an otherwise crisis-ridden world. Given their devotions to a panoply of Christian figures and fervent preparations for heaven, this scintillating re-analysis of religious change at once challenges preconceptions about the colonisation of ideas and is a profound intervention in studies of Indigenous history.’ * Marilyn Strathern, Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge, Uk *
