DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Blood Revenge, War, and Victory Feasts Among the Jibaro Indians of Eastern Ecuador The education of the boys among the Jibaros first Of all aims at making them brave and skillful warriors. When a Jibaro has enemies on whom he wants to take revenge for Offences and out rages, perhaps committed long ago, but despairs of being able to do it himself, he systematically tries to awaken and maintain hatred against them in his young sons by discourses directed to them every day. The Shudm So - and-so killed my father, my grandfather, my brothers, while I was a child, carried Off my mother, my sisters, and burnt our house. This blood guilt is not yet washed off. It is the duty of you, my sons, to avenge this crime and to kill the enemy or his sons, who are still threatening our family. If you'do, this, blessing and good luck will follow you in all your undertakings; you will have a long life and be able to kill many other enemies; your plantations will be richly fruit-bearing; your domestic animals, the swine and the chicken, will prosper and grow numerous; there will never be lack of food in your house, etc. This discourse is at times, repeated every morning when the house father gets up, and with about the same words; and, of course, can not fail to make an impression upon the minds of the young ones. When a Jibaro chief goes on a war expedition he Often takes'his young sons with him in order that they may early learn the art of war and get accustomed to the bloody scenes which take place.

In these societies, they say, men need to control the reproductive power of women in order to establish political power; where there is no law or central government, ritual is used as a way of gaining control. The type of ritual will vary, they conclude, according to the economic base of the society. . . .for those whoa re interested in the subject, this book is indispensable. Its thesis is challenging and the documentation is excellent. Paige and Paige have mad ean essential contribution to a long debate, and their theory is sure to stir new and lively controversy." --Science Digest This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
