520    AmerIndian societies have an iconic status in classical 
       political thought. For Montaigne, Hobbes, Locke, Hume and 
       Rousseau, the native American 'state of nature' operates 
       as a foil for the European polity. Challenging this 
       tradition, The Imbalance of Power demonstrates 
       ethnographically that the Carib speaking indigenous 
       societies of the Guiana region of Amazonia do not fit 
       conventional characterizations of 'simple' political units
       with 'egalitarian' political ideologies and 'harmonious' 
       relationships with nature. Marc Brightman builds a 
       persuasive and original theory of AmerIndian politics: far
       from balanced and egalitarian, Carib societies are rife 
       with tension and difference; but this imbalance conditions
       social dynamism and a distinctive mode of cohesion. The 
       Imbalance of Power is based on the author's fieldwork in 
       partnership with Vanessa Grotti, who is working on a 
       companion volume entitled Living with the Enemy: First 
       Contacts and the Making of Christian Bodies in Amazonia.
