David Yetman
"An intriguing glimpse of the close relationship between the
Guarijos and their natural, geographically isolated environment. .
. . Yetman easily crosses the boundaries of ethnobotany and
anthropology, presenting the Guarijios in a rich cultural and
social context."
"This is a very entertaining book that I would recommend to anyone
interested in the exploration of tropical deciduous forests of
Mexico, native peoples of Mexico, or ethnobotany. While not
strictly an ethnobotanical account, "The Guarijios of the Sierra
Madre" provides an information packed account of the author's
adventures among the Guarijios in the mountains of Mexico."
"Yetman's written description of the Guarijo and the area,
accompanied by many pertinent photographs, is completely 'visual, '
in effect, allowing the reader to imagine the people and their
setting quite clearly. This is an accomplished literary style
brought to a difficult and demanding ethnographic encounter, an
ability that few anthropologists seem to possess or are willing to
attempt to express. . . . The picture that emerges concerning the
Guarijo is realistic and dynamic. . . .the end result here is a
valuable and scholarly contribution."
