Resultado de ampla pesquisa na qual a autora apresenta os diversos aspectos que compõem o complexo mundo baniwa, a importância que a doença ocupa nele, suas especificidades, sua cultura, seu modo estóico de vida, suas inter-relações com outros grupos étnicos do Alto Rio Negro, Amazonas.

Transcende o contexto rionegrino, sendo relevante para o universo indígena como um todo. Academicamente instigante e politicamente perspicaz, inaugura nova coleção em grande estilo.
