Goldman, who died when the manuscript of this study was nearly complete, was a professor of anthropology at Sarah Lawrence College and the last surviving student of Franz Boas. A sequel to Goldman's The Cubeo , a classic of South American ethnography, it elaborates on an Amazonian religious worldview that incorporates ideas about the nature of the cosmos, society, and human life; the individual's orientation to the world; the use of hallucinogenic substances; and a New World metaphysics. The work includes an introduction by Wilson (anthropology, emeritus, Otago U., New Zealand) and an afterword that sets the study in the context of contemporary Vaupés ethnography.
