In 2004, one of the world’s last bands of voluntarily isolated nomads left behind their ancestral life in the dwindling thorn forests of northern Paraguay, fleeing ranchers’ bulldozers. Behold the Black Caiman is Lucas Bessire’s intimate chronicle of the journey of this small group of Ayoreo people, the terrifying new world they now face, and the precarious lives they are piecing together against the backdrop of soul-collecting missionaries, humanitarian NGOs, late liberal economic policies, and the highest deforestation rate in the world.
Drawing on ten years of fieldwork, Bessire highlights the stark disconnect between the desperate conditions of Ayoreo life for those out of the forest and the well-funded global efforts to preserve those Ayoreo still living in it. By showing how this disconnect reverberates within Ayoreo bodies and minds, his reflexive account takes aim at the devastating consequences of our society’s continued obsession with the primitive and raises important questions about anthropology’s potent capacity to further or impede indigenous struggles for sovereignty. The result is a timely update to the classic literary ethnographies of South America, a sustained critique of the so-called ontological turn—one of anthropology’s hottest trends—and, above all, an urgent call for scholars and activists alike to rethink their notions of difference.

非常喜欢的一本书，从作者直接反对ontological anthropology，我就喜欢上了，作为最后一批从丛林出来的人，Ayoreo 可以自己选择抛弃过去，有自己的方式的modernity。作者批评本体论人类学的论文也很值得一看，虽然有些话过了火。
评分极其优秀的ethnography，入木三分的理论讨论、走向大众的学术文本。永远都有新的人类学家在向我展示这个领域的浩瀚与深邃。双手合十。
评分存在论转向的批判。对于文化持续性与文化死亡二元对立的破除。推荐第三、五、七、八章节。
