It contributes to a growing histor iographical emphasis on Indigenous strategic relations with outsiders and h ighlights how Indigenous people have sought to steer or even control the co ntent and direction of these relations despite adverse circumstances. This presentation will provide an overview of the book with a particular focus o n the final chapter, “Makushi Alliances in Guyana: Partnerships against Pre dation.” It will focus on how Makushi people strived for mutualistic relati ons under circumstances variously characterized by symmetrical and asymmetr ical dynamics.
