Abstract

There are few places on earth hotter than an Amazonian pasture at midday. With the canopy of the rainforest trees removed, the sun beats down relentlessly on unbroken fields of grass and weedy shrubs, baking plants, animals, and anthropologist alike. The forest is cool by comparison. Yet in pastures is where I found myself repeatedly while studying the role of cattle in the agricultural production systems of colonist farmers in the Peruvian Amazon.
