<p>The Serente is a book written by Curt Nimuendaju, which provides an in-depth study of the Serente people, an indigenous community living in Brazil. The book is a comprehensive ethnography that explores the culture, history, and social organization of the Serente people, as well as their relationship with the natural world.Nimuendaju, who was a renowned anthropologist and ethnographer, spent several years living among the Serente people, studying their language, customs, and beliefs. His work is based on extensive fieldwork, interviews with members of the community, and analysis of historical and cultural documents.The book is divided into several chapters that cover different aspects of Serente life, including their mythology and cosmology, kinship and social organization, political structure, and economic activities. The author also discusses the impact of colonialism and modernization on the Serente people, and their efforts to preserve their cultural heritage in the face of external pressures.Overall, The Serente is a valuable contribution to the field of anthropology, providing a detailed and nuanced portrait of an indigenous community that has long been overlooked by mainstream society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the study of indigenous cultures, as well as those interested in the history and culture of Brazil.Publications Of The Frederick Webb Hodge Anniversary Publication Fund V4.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
