Book Reviews of Shamans of the Foye Tree: Gender, Power, and Healing among Chilean Mapuche
Book Review: A must for gender studies
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not an anthropologist and read this for its gender studies content. The book is in the best tradition of post-feminist scholarship. The author begins by locating shamanism in its modern Mapuche-Chilean context then tackles issues of gender as they are represented in ritual and acted out in relationships -personal and political- both within the Mapuche community as well as in modern Chile. Contradictory discourses abound, even within the community of machi (shamans). We come face to face with the fact that pristine Mapuche attitudes to gender variability are impossible to reconstruct, lost as they are under layers of catholic propaganda, Chilean nationalism and Mapuche assimilation. Clear and well-written.
