I will be presenting a research paper at the 2010 Annual American Academy of Religion Conference in Atlanta, GA, which discusses the issue of authenticity and authorship in indigenous self-representation to Western audiences.
I use academic sources on the Amazonian indigenous worldview as well as other case studies of struggles for indigenous rights in the Amazon to inform this current context. I also rely on anthropologist Laura R. Graham's research on indigenous self-representation and anthropologist Alcida Rita Ramos' work on indigenism in Brazil.
