This selection of 20th century Amazonian literature presents writing from the indigenous and mastize people of the Amazon basin, recovering their forgotten voices for the Latin American literary canon.
Contributors to this volume also come from Amazonian cities such as Iquitos in Peru and Leticia in Colombia as well as from the Andean cities of Quito and La Paz and the English-speaking country of Guyana. These poems, stories, and passages from novels include traditional themes of the indigenous groups, many dealing with their threatened survival and the relationship of humans to nature.
