内容説明
Winner of the prestigious Casa de las Americas Prize, this work spins a heartfelt story of an improbable relationship between an anthropologist and her charismatic Indigenous father.
When Aparecida Vilaca first traveled down the remote Negro River in Amazonia, she expected to come back with notebooks and tapes full of observations about the Indigenous Wari' people-but not with a new father. In Paleto and Me, Vilaca shares her life with her adoptive Wari' family, and the profound personal transformations involved in becoming kin.
Paleto-unfailingly charming, always prepared with a joke-shines with life in Vilaca's account of their unusual father-daughter relationship. Paleto was many things: he was a survivor, who lived through the arrival of violent invaders and diseases. He was a leader, who taught through laughter and care, spoke softly, yet was always ready to jump into the unknown. He could shift seamlessly between the roles of the observer and the observed, and in his visits to Rio de Janeiro, deconstructs urban social conventions with ease and wit.
Begun the day after Paleto's death at the age of 85, Paleto and Me is a celebration of life, weaving together the author's own memories of learning the lifeways of Indigenous Amazonia with her father's testimony to Wari' persistence in the face of colonization. Speaking from the heart as both anthropologist and daughter, Vilaca offers an intimate look at Indigenous lives in Brazil over nearly a century.
