Mellon Foundation. The rich storytelling traditions of the Ashéninka Perené Arawaks of eastern Peru are showcased in this bilingual collection of traditional narratives, ethnographic accounts, women's autobiographical stories, songs, chants, and ritual speeches. The Ashéninkas are located in the colonization frontier at the foot of the eastern Andes and the western fringe of the Amazonian jungle. Unfortunately, their language has a slim chance of surviving because only about three hundred fluent speakers remain. This volume collects and preserves the power and vitality of Ashéninka oral and linguistic traditions, as told by thirty members of the Native community. Upper Perene Arawak Narratives of History, Landscape, and Ritual covers a range of themes in the Ashéninka oral tradition, through genres such as myths, folk tales, autobiographical accounts, and ethnographic texts about customs and rituals, as well as songs, chants, and oratory. Transcribed and translated by a specialist in Ashéninka language varieties, Elena Mihas, and grounded in the actual performances of Asheninka speakers, this collection makes these stories available in English for the first time. Each original text in Ashéninka is accompanied by an English translation and each theme is introduced with an essay providing biographical, cultural, and linguistic information. The result is a masterful, authoritative, yet entertaining and provocative collection of oral literature that vividly testifies to the power of Ashéninka storytelling"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000743860 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000743860 650_0 $$aAshaninca Indians$$zPeru$$zPerene River Valley$$xSocial life and customs. 000743860 650_0 $$aAshaninca Indians$$zPeru$$zPerene River Valley$$xRites and ceremonies. 000743860 650_0 $$aEthnology$$zPeru$$zPerene River Valley. 000743860 650_0 $$aCampa language$$zPeru$$zPerene River Valley$$vTexts. 000743860 650_0 $$aOral tradition$$zPeru$$zPerene River Valley. 000743860 650_0 $$aFolk literature$$xHistory and criticism. 000743860 650_0 $$aNarration (Rhetoric) 000743860 650_0 $$aDiscourse analysis. 000743860 651_0 $$aPerene River Valley (Peru)$$xSocial life and customs. 000743860 7001_ $$aSantos Pérez, Gregorio,$$econtributor. 000743860 7001_ $$aRosas Rodríguez, Delia,$$econtributor. 000743860 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMihas, Elena.$$tUpper Perené Arawak narratives of history, landscape, and ritual.$$dLincoln : University of Nebraska Press, [2014]$$z9780803245372$$w(DLC)10985137 000743860 852__ $$bebk 000743860 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10985137$$zOnline Access 000743860 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:743860$$pGLOBAL_SET 000743860 980__ $$aEBOOK 000743860 980__ $$aBIB 000743860 982__ $$aEbook 000743860 983__ $$aOnline
