Geographic research on aboriginal and peasant cultures in Amazonia [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Geographic research in the 1980s on aboriginal and peasant cultures in Amazonia has focused on Indian subsistence, peasant riverine villagers, and frontier settlement. Themes examined include prehistoric agriculture and demography, protein scarcity, crop diversity, swidden-fallow manage ment, floodplain cultivation, colonization, forest extraction, fishing, cattle ranching, deforestation and soil decline. Most work on these topics has been done by other social scientists and ecologists, but geographers have made significant contributions, including some influential articles and a dozen books. Active participation, through research and publication, in the international concern over the destruction of the Amazon environment, however, has been less than we might expect from geographers.
