Escenarios de las economÍas de comunidades amazÓnicas shuar del ecuador en tiempos De GlobalizaciÓN

Given the uncertainty about the survival strategies of indigenous peoples in the current context of globalization, the results of a qualitative ethnographic study of Shuar Amazonian communities in Ecuador are presented. Their socioeconomic livelihood activities and the transitions of their ethno-ecological systems are analysed in relation to the external contexts that condition them. Bearers of a relevant biocultural memory about the Amazon, their combined strategies are addressed, as well as their practices towards an endogenous development that guarantees their particularity.
