[Description]In this story of one man's encounter with an indigenous people of Peru, Michael Brown guides his readers upriver into a contested zone of the Amazonian frontier, where more than 50,000 Awajun--renowned for pugnacity and fierce independence--use hard-won political savvy, literacy, and digital skills to live life on their own terms, against long odds.
