In The Way of Warriors: Annotated Narratives of the Mebengokre (Kayapo) in Brazil, we find a rich collection of narratives and life stories, the product of memory and experience of 24 indigenous narrators, recorded over many years of fieldwork, and carefully translated by the author with the dedicated and qualified help of two indigenous research assistants. Part of this rich material was the basis of the meticulous work of historical reconstruction work undertaken by Verswijver and now comes to light to foster new research and new studies that complement any gaps and give rise to new interpretations of Mebengokre history. The set of more than 80 narratives, organized by Verswijver, permits a comprehensive view of Mebengokre history, as remembered, understood, and told by the Indians themselves. The Mebengokre history and mental universe appear here, not as analytical artifacts of the anthropologist, but concretely embodied in the testimony of the indigenous people. More than that, if the indigenous narratives speak a lot about the past, of periods of crisis, violence, and death, they also reflect the strength of the present and point to the longings for the future of a brave people, morally solid, but open to the new and endowed with remarkable intellectual flexibility. For this reason, it is no exaggeration to say that this book is one of the most important attempts at systematic historical reconstruction in the field of anthropology of Amazonian indigenous peoples. --From back cover.
