| Περίληψη: | The periodic emergence of indigenous peoples living in voluntary isolation in Amazonia have given rise to sensational media reports and heated academic
debate. In this chapter we describe briefly the historical and contemporary relations
between indigenous peoples in and out of isolation in the Guiana Shield region of
North-eastern South America and discuss the role of indigenous missionaries in
histories of contact. After considering these facts in relation to some of the general
debates about isolated peoples and policy, we assess the ethical dimensions of the
question of emergence from isolation. |
