Description

An Archipelago in a Landlocked Country explores the complex relationships between translation, culture and identity through the stories of the Enlhet, Ayoreo and Nivaklé people.

The author, Elisa Taber, delves into the history of the Canadian and Russian Mennonites who settled in the region, where these indigenous communities had lived in isolation for nearly 300 years. Through her research, fieldnotes and translations, Taber sheds light on the experiences of both the settlers and the native populations.

This book is a unique blend of anthropology, cultural studies and personal narrative, offering a nuanced understanding of the interstices between different worlds.
