Abstract
This article discusses the intersections between anthropological and Amazonian indigenous activism over a four decade period. It takes the distinctive approach of Shelton "Sandy" Davis as a framework to demonstrate the difficult trajectories of activism for both indigenous peoples and anthropologists. I provide examples from my own experiences working with indigenous organizations in Peru and Ecuador.
Este artículo documenta la intersección entre el activismo de las indígenas amazônicas y antropólogos durante un periodo de cuatro décadas. Uso la perspectiva distincta de Shelton “Sandy” Davis cómo un marco lógico para demonstrar las trayectorias difíciles de activismo. Uso ejemplares de mi propio trabajo en Perú y Ecuador, trabajando con organizaciones indígenas.
