Despite regular attention in the media and numerous academic studies the Brazilian Amazon is rarely appreciated as a historical place home to a range of different societies. Often left invisible are the families who are making a living from the rivers and forests of the region. Broadly characterizing these people as peasants \u003cem\u003eAmazon Peasant Societies in a Changing Environment\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to bring together research by anthropologists, historians, political ecologists and biologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new paradigm emerges which helps understand the way in which Amazonian modernity has developed.
