The author analyzes the political concepts and practices of the Arakbut of southern Madre de Dios, Peru, with the adaptation adopted since entering into permanent contact with the national society in the decade of the 1950s until today. Based on field work, including interviews with elders alive in pre-contact times, and personal observations since that time, he shows how the Arakbut have combined their traditional political system, similar to the Clastres model, with organizations and practices that allow them to interact with national society actors and processes in a manner that allows them to maintain their identity and lifestyle.
