Praying and Preying offers one of the rare anthropological monographs on the Christian experience of contemporary Amazonian indigenous peoples, based on an ethnographic study of the relationship between the Wari', inhabitants of Brazilian Amazonia, and the Evangelical missionaries of the New Tribes Mission. Vilaça turns to a vast range of historical, ethnographic and mythological material related to both the Wari' and missionaries perspectives and the author's own ethnographic field notes from her more than 30-year involvement with the Wari' community. Developing a close dialogue between the Melanesian literature, which informs much of the recent work in the Anthropology of Christianity, and the concepts and theories deriving from Amazonian ethnology, in particular the notions of openness to the other, unstable dualism, and perspectivism, the author provides a fine-grained analysis of the equivocations and paradoxes that underlie the translation processes performed by the different agents involved and their implications for the transformation of the native notion of personhood.

Dès que l’on parle « tribu » à propos du monde arabo-musulman, les Occidentaux que nous sommes pensent charmes altiers de modes de vie révolus, mais aussi, dans le contexte actuel, trafics, oppression des femmes, arriération et incapacité d’atteindre la modernité. La persistance tribale serait, dans cette perspective, l’une des racines du mal-être et des conflits qui s’éternisent dans l’arc de crise allant de l’Afrique du Nord et Sub-saharienne à l’Afghanistan. À rebours, ce livre nous révèle les étonnantes capacités d’adaptation et de métamorphose de la tribu dans ces sociétés profondément fracturées ; stimulées par les contextes intérieurs, les tribus, toujours subordonnées, parviennent néanmoins à trouver place dans le jeu des acteurs économiques, politiques et militaires de la globalisation, conjuguant impact géopolitique et développement de ces logiques « glocales » dont la variété tisse désormais une partie de la planète.
