The Belo Monte Dam: Greatest “Natural” Disaster of Our Generation? by Shane Puthuparambil
THE BELO MONTE DAM: GREATEST “NATURAL” DISASTER OF OUR GENERATION? BY SHANE PUTHUPARAMBIL n 1989, in the Brazilian town of Altamira, nearly two decades. However, in 2011, the shallow and traveling at high velocities Ia Kayapo woman spoke passionately to a Brazilian environmental ministry (IBAMA) are often referred to as “rapids.” The Volta gathering that had been arranged by various granted licenses to Norte Energia—a Grande represents some of the largest and international nonprofits. “We don’t need Brazilian construction consortium—to start most complex rapids on Earth.5 Prior to electricity; electricity won’t give us food,” she construction on a new project.

Encontro Xingu ‘08
ipcst08.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/_... Encontro Xingu ‘08 Day 5: Riverside Departure 27 May 2008 Participants began to assemble at the riverside from 7:30 with the arrival of buses loaded with rural workers and small farmers from the surrounding area. Many had started out in the small hours just to attend this last day; others had been in Altamira for some days. By the time the Indians arrived, more than an hour later, the non-Indians were in full swing. They formed an arena surrounded by banners, and several community leaders made impassioned speeches. An unexpected arrival was the BBC’s Bruce Parry. He is in the Amazon making a series with Indus Films, following the river from its source in the Peruvian Andes to its mouth. Cameraman Keith’s video camera simply dwarfed everyone else’s, as did the Indus crew of seven. Bruce was not here specifically to cover the Encontro Xingu, but such a unique gathering of Indians and rural people was an opportunity the team could not resist. They seemed bowled over by the sheer scale of the event, but confused about why the Brazilian Government had decided not to send any senior representatives to hear the Indians’ case. The Kayapo arrived in a column, dancing and chanting. Keith, who is very tall, was surrounded by the warriors as they swept into the arena, circling in the traditional way. He relished the experience and emerged beaming. Instinctively sensing another photo opportunity, the Indians rushed into the water, making symbolic use of the river to highlight their relationship with it. -
Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates. -

Manchineri/Manchineri/Aruak (1) Alternate Names: Machinere, Maneteneri, Manairisu, Maxineri
1. Description 1.1 Name of society, language, and language family: Manchineri/Manchineri/Aruak (1) Alternate names: Machinere, Maneteneri, Manairisu, Maxineri 1.2 ISO code (3 letter code from ethnologue.com): MPD 1.3 Location (latitude/longitude): The traditional homeland of the Manchineri was on the Purus River (Lat. 9 degrees south, longitude 69-71 degrees west (14). Modern Manchineri occupy an area in the southern region of the state of Acre as well as scattered points in both Peru and Bolivia. In Brazil, the Manchineri are largely confined to the Mamoadate Indigenous Territory and the Guanabara Seringal (Rubber Extraction Area) with smaller populations living along the São Francisco and Macauã rivers, and in the city of Assis Brasil.(1) The Mamoadate Indigenous Territory is 313,647 ha in size and located next to the Iaco river (whose headwaters are found in Peru), beginning at the Mamoadate creek and extending as far as Brazil’s border with Peru (1). 1.4 Brief history: Linguistically they are related to the Piro. Nineteenth century explorer Antônio Loureiro identified the Manchineri as natural inhabitants of the Macauã and Caiaté rivers in the 1880’s (5). Some Manchineri contradict this report, claiming that their parents and grandparents had occupied that area for a long time. 1.5 Influence of missionaries/schools/governments/powerful neighbors: Large-scale invasions of the region in the 19th century led to correrias (massacres), and pressured native populations from Peru towards Brazil (by caucho rubber extractors), and from the Amazon towards Bolivia (by rubber tappers). Natives who avoided the correrias often served the invaders, initially as guides and later as labor for rubber extraction. -

Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis
Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis by Timothy Birabi Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Adam Smith Business School College of Social Sciences University of Glasgow April 2016 ©Timothy Birabi i Abstract This thesis seeks to research patterns of economic growth and development from a number of perspectives often resonated in the growth literature. By addressing themes about history, geography, institutions and culture the thesis is able to bring to bear a wide range of inter-related literatures and methodologies within a single content. Additionally, by targeting different administrative levels in its research design and approach, this thesis is also able to provide a comprehensive treatment of the economic growth dilemma from both cross- national and sub-national perspectives. The three chapters herein discuss economic development from two broad dimensions. The first of these chapters takes on the economic growth inquiry by attempting to incorporate cultural geography within a cross-country formal spatial econometric growth framework. By introducing the global cultural dynamics of languages and ethnic groups as spatial network mechanisms, this chapter is able to distinguish economic growth effects accruing from own-country productive efforts from those accruing from interconnections within a global productive network chain. From this, discussions and deductions about the implications for both developed and developing countries are made as regards potentials for gains and losses from such types and levels of productive integration. The second and third chapters take a different spin to the economic development inquiry. They both focus on economic activity in Africa, tackling the relevant issues from a geo-intersected dimension involving historic regional tribal homelands and modern national and subnational administrative territories. -

Arawak languages are spoken in lowland Amazonia and beyond, covering French Guiana, Suriname, Guiana, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia, and formerly in Paraguay and Argentina. Wayuunaiki (or Guajiro), spoken in the region of the Guajiro peninsula in Venezuela and Colombia, is the largest language of the family. Garifuna is the only Arawak language spoken in Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala in Central America. Groups of Arawak speakers must have migrated from the Caribbean coast to the Antilles a few hundred years before the European conquest. At least several dozen Arawak languages have become extinct since the European conquest. The highest number of recorded Arawak languages is centered in the region between the Rio Negro and the Orinoco. -
Ordenamiento Y Demarcación Territorial Como Instrumento De Planificación Para El Desarrollo Sostenible De La Región Ancash
geografía Ordenamiento y demarcación territorial como instrumento de planificación para el desarrollo sostenible de la región Ancash Arrangement and territorial demarcation as planning instrument to the sustainable development of the Ancash region Recibido: 16/02/2009 Fray Masías Cruz Reyes Aprobado: 30/03/2009 Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos [email protected] RESUMEN El departamento de Ancash al igual que otros departamentos del país, históricamente ha sido ocupado con fines de poblamiento y aprovechamiento de sus distintos recursos naturales en forma espontánea y obedeciendo a coyunturas políticas, sociales y económicas nacionales e internacionales; que ha generado como consecuencia desequilibrios territoriales a favor de la franja costanera y del Callejón de Huaylas, en detrimento del área andina y del valle del Marañón. Lo anterior sirve como marco de referencia para hacer un diagnóstico geográfico- político-administrativo-socioeconómico-poblacional, que confirma que la demarcación política de los distintos distritos y provincias de este departamento se encuentran indefinidos e impre- cisos en algunos casos, lo que condiciona y dificulta una buena gestión, generando problemas territoriales; en donde el ordenamiento territorial como instrumento de planificación ayuda a corregir estos desequilibrios y fomenta la integración en base a las condiciones geográficas, histórico-socioeconómico-culturales de los pueblos. PALABRAS CLAVE: Integración territorial, organización y ordenamiento territorial, descentrali- zación, desarrollo sostenible, demarcación. ABSTRACT The department of Ancash, like others departments in the country, trough history has been occupied with purposes of settlement and exploitation of its natural resources spontaneously and according to political, social, and economic national and international situation generat- ing as consequences territorial imbalances resulting in favor of coastal strip and Callejon de Huaylas, to expenses the Andean region and the Marañon valley. -
Handbook of Ethnography
Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2011 with funding from Wellesley College Library http://www.archive.org/details/handbookofethnogOOIeyb PUBLISHED ON THE LOUIS STERN MEMORIAL FUND HANDBOOK OF ETHNOGRAPHY BY JAMES G. LEYBURN Assistant Professor of the Science of Society in Yale University NEW HAVEN YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON . HUMPHREY MILFORD • OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS 1931 Copyright 1931 by Yale University Press Printed in the United States of America All rights reserved. This book may not be re- produced, in whole or in part, in any form, ex- cept by written permission from the publishers. n PREFACE In any science the study of simple factors aids in the comprehen- sion of the complex. Especially is this true in the study of human society, for modern phenomena are so complicated that they are all but incomprehensible except when viewed in the light of their evolution. Immediately upon his return to simpler societies, how- ever, the reader meets the names of peoples and tribes unfamiliar to him : he has but vague ideas as to the location of the Hottentots, the Veddahs, and the Yakuts ; yet the more deeply he pursues his studies, the more acutely he feels the needs of some vade mecum to tell him who these people are and where they live. This Handbook of Ethnography is designed not only for the trained ethnologist, who cannot be expected to retain in his mem- ory more than a fraction of the tribal names included herein, but for the students in allied fields—in anthropology, archaeology, the science of society (sociology), political science, and the like. -
