    Open AccessJohn HemmingARTICLE1700-tal: Nordic Journal for…2021

    This paper describes the history of the Villas Boas brothers of Brazil and their role in establishing and administering the 26,000-square-kilometer Xingu Indigenous Park in the Amazonian state of Mato Grosso. Many anthropologists came to work in the Park during the Villas Boas brothers’ decades-long residence there. The paper details some of the unique features of the Park that shaped fieldwork conditions and describes the relations between anthr…

  • Japan-Australia security cooperation in the bilateral and multilateral contexts

    Tomohiko Satake, John Hemming et al.ARTICLEInternational Affairs2018Citada por: 2

    Structural realists might reasonably predict that foreign policy elites in countries like Japan and Australia would view China's economic and military rise as a potential threat and seek to balance against it. However, the actual policy behaviour of Japanese and Australian policy elites has been quite complex—pushing forward at times, hesitating at others and generally uncertain if an explicit counter-coalition against China through bilateral sec…

  • A Fresh Look at Amazon Indians

    Open AccessJohn HemmingARTICLE1700-tal: Nordic Journal for…2003Citada por: 6Referencias: 2

    This essay examines two German anthropologists who changed the style of Brazilian anthropology. Karl von den Steinen made first contact with eight peoples of the upper Xingu in the 1880s. His anthropological observations were accurate and valuable, and he was the first to describe indigenous people as individual human beings. Curt Nimuendajú also had no formal training, but was on an anthropological or archaeological expedition every year between…

  • Indians, Cattle and Settlers

    John HemmingCHAPTERForest Frontier2002

    INTRODUCTION Sixteenth-century romantics such as Antonio de Berrío and Walter Raleigh imagined that the elusive and illusory kingdom of El Dorado might lie near the headwaters of the Essequibo or Branco; but it was not until the early eighteenth century that the first Europeans set foot in this region (Hemming 1978). From about 1720 onwards, a few Portuguese and Dutch slavers and slave traders were taken up both of these rivers to Roraima by Indi…

  • Brazil in 1500

    Open AccessJohn HemmingCHAPTERThe Historical literature on…1995

    The first Portuguese to write on Brazil was Pero Vaz de Caminha in his famous letter to King Manoel, 1 May 1500 (translated in The Voyages of Pedro Alvares Cabral to Brazil and India , Hakluyt Society, 2nd ser., vol. 81, London, 1937, 3–33). Later in the sixteenth century we have the valuable chronicles of Gabriel Soares de Sousa, Tratado descriptivo do Brasil em 1587 (São Paulo, 1938), and Pero de Magalhães de Gandavo’s Tratado da terra do Brasi…

  • How Brazil Acquired Roraima

    John HemmingARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review1990

    N 1988, the northernmost part of Brazil became the state of I Roraima. This kite-shaped territory has an area of 230,000 square kilometers, and embraces the valley of the Rio Branco, a northern tributary of the Amazon River system. Near the headwaters of this great river, the dense rainforests of Amazonia open in a natural savanna, a gently rolling plain that stretches eastward for some 30o kilometers to the upper Essequibo in what is now Guyana.…

  • Amazon Frontier

    Robert L Hoover, John HemmingARTICLEEthnohistory1989Citada por: 40

    This text continues the tale started in Hemming's Red Gold. This book covers the 150 years when the first European scientists explored Amazonia and were fascinated by its tribal people. Encounters with new tribes continued throughout the 19th century, particularly when the Amazon's rubber monopoly made Manaus a frontier boom town, but the Indians declined drastically in numbers, and changed from being feared enemies to objects of anthropological …

  • Indians and the frontier

    Open AccessJohn HemmingCHAPTERColonial Brazil1987

    The ‘frontier’ in this chapter is the European boundary, the limit of colonial expansion into Brazil. Each of the hundreds of native American tribes also had its own frontier, sometimes fluid and shifting but more often geographically defined and well known to every member of the tribe. Tribal frontiers were the boundaries between often hostile, warring groups, or were the limits of each people's hunting forays or annual collecting cycle. The Eur…
