The opening of the Amazon to colonization in the 1970s brought cattle, land conflict, and widespread deforestation. In the remote state of Acre, Brazil, rubber tappers fought against migrant ranchers to preserve the forest they relied on, and in the process, these "forest guardians" showed the world that it was possible to unite forest livelihoods and environmental preservation. Nowadays, many rubber tappers and their children are turning away from the forest-based lifestyle they once sought to protect and are becoming cattle-raisers or even caubois (cowboys). Rainforest Cowboys is the first book to examine the social and cultural forces driving the expansion of Amazonian cattle raising in all of their complexity. Drawing on eighteen months of fieldwork, Jeffrey Hoelle shows how cattle raising is about much more than beef production or deforestation in Acre, even among "carnivorous" environmentalists, vilified ranchers, and urbanites with no land or cattle. He contextualizes the rise of ranching in relation to political economic structures and broader meanings to understand the spread of "cattle culture." This cattle-centered vision of rural life builds on local experiences and influences from across the Americas and even resembles East African cultural practices. Written in a broadly accessible and interdisciplinary style, Rainforest Cowboys is essential reading for a global audience interested in understanding the economic and cultural features of cattle raising, deforestation, and the continuing tensions between conservation and development in the Amazon.

Suggesting that better understanding of conflicts between Anglo and Latin America can come from the study of their contrasting popular fictions, the author compares the traditional attachment in Latin America to government by a strong man--a caudillo--to the diametrically opposed expansionist frontier ideology of the United States--the cowboy--who makes space safe for Anglo colonization.

Ame N. dreams almost every night and interprets them through the Dreamer’s Dictionary by Lady Stearn Robinson, which is the only dream dictionary that she discovered in the earlier ’90s. Because she has looked at it so frequently, it has fallen apart, and she has had to buy more than one. Now she basically has the book memorized. Since her dreams have such an impact on her, she uses them in everyday life, which is what she learned to do when she took a dream class at Agneta’s in West Hartford, Connecticut, in the spring of 2000. After that was when she began to keep a record of her dreams in the Dreamland Companion by Ilan Kutz, which she bought in the earlier ’90s and read in the mid ’90s. She has so many dreams it is impossible to write them all down, including the details, which are vital. She wrote Cowboys & Indians because she had a dream seeing the simple, popular book. She knew the inside had to be complex, so she added & India for its long journey.
