Through the uncovering of recent ethnographical data, the author reveals extensive narratives of Jibaro Indian resistance and cultural continuity on the island of Borikň (Puerto Rico). Since the epistemological boundaries of the early history and literature had been written through colonial eyes, key fallacies have been passed down for centuries. Many stories have been kept within family histories having gone "underground" as the result of an abusive past. Whole communities of Jbaro people survive today"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.868 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList
