I am looking authors and works about how indigenous people of the Amazon were governed before the formation of national states. Mainly in the northwest amazonia. Please add your answers and requests in spanish, english or french.
I.ve visited communities in bazil and in perù rarely they have mainteined the previous way to control the couniuties. The situation of indigenous communities in Amazonia is now shameful, especially in Peru, but also in Brazil. Prior to the organization of the nation states, the Indians tried to maintain their own institutions, assemblies and persons with authority. Occasionally, having to face colonialism, millenarians and other resistance methods have emerged that have tried to provide solutions against cultural predators
