Voces y memoria de la floresta: Tabo, Sontone y Chanchari

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the texts narrated by indigenous people of the Amazonia during the first two decades of this century, as well as to examine what their sources haven been, what content they present and how their contribution has disseminated the knowledge of their people. Some of these narratives were considered autoethnography or autobiography, testimony, and even critical testimony, but all of them point at being ethnohistorical texts. They have been written by authors of Cavineña (Bolivia), Shawi, and Harakbut (Peru) origins.
