Omschrijving
With a decidedly didactic tone and in dialogue with the American philosophical tradition, Chindoy articulates communal history and personal experience to introduce the Western reader to Time, Beauty, and Spirit as living forces in the Kamëntšá culture. It is in the transformative effects of its reading that this concise volume becomes, in the author’s words, a beautiful and meaningful conversation.

This book offers a vivid investigation into the South American symbolic representations (Time, Beauty, Spirit) as well as decolonial practices of Sibundoy tribes. The Author fruitfully applies William James’s radical empiricism in his veracious analyzes of tribal storytelling, dance and rituals of healing, fittingly illustrating them with his personal ritual experiences as a member of Kamëntšá tribe.
