"This is an engaging story of major changes in the political economy, rural landscape, and civil society of Loreto, the northern portion of Peruvian Amazonia. It begins with the opening up of the Amazon River to international navigation in 1851 and ends with a shift to a neo-liberal political paradigm and the signing of a peace treaty with Ecuador in the 1990s."--BOOK JACKET.
