Anthropologist Florinda Donner recounts her immersive experience living among the Yanomami people deep inside the Amazonian rainforest.

In Shabono, anthropologist and Carlos Castaneda associate Florinda Donner recounts her journey into the remote borderlands between Venezuela and Brazil, where she lived inside a communal thatched enclosure (shabono) with a Yanomami tribe.

Donner details Yanomami healing ceremonies, shamanic practices, plant medicine, and tribal kinship bonds. While the work ignited fierce academic debate over ethnographic methodology and literary narrative in anthropology, it remains a vivid, evocative portrait of Amazonian tribal life.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Florinda Donner offers immersive rainforest descriptions, shamanic cultural accounts, and fascinating anthropological prose. A compelling 1992 HarperOne paperback for readers interested in Amazonian ethnography, shamanism, and Indigenous lore.
