Abstract

When written, these words were intended to apply, not to the seminomadic, forest tribal peoples of the Amazon basin, but to those indians of Central America whose societies and cultures have long since been riven and shaped by the violent forces of market competition and international commodity price fluctuations. Reproducing the experience of the continent as a whole, it is their very integration into the world economy, rather than their marginalisation, which explains the increasingly intolerable conditions of life they are forced to endure. What marginalisation they continue to share ith their Amazonian counterparts, it would seem, is of a cultural, social and political nature.
