Series Statement: Earth is our mother 1

Content: Anthropologist and psychologist Peter Elsass studied two Indian tribes in Colombia and Venezuela over a 16-year period. In his film, The Earth is Our Mother (Part I), we see their different ways of dealing with encroaching white civilization. The Motilon Indians in the lowland of Venezuela gave up their traditional ways and became dependent on the Catholic missionaries who converted them. They became spiritually and economically impoverished. The Arhuaco Indians, in the mountains of northern Colombia, threw out the missionaries and maintained their cultural integrity. They have an abiding spiritual attachment to their land. Films in this series: The Earth is Our Mother, The Journey Back (Part II)

Series Statement: Earth is our mother 2

Content: In The Journey Back (Part II), the filmmakers return after several years to show the original film (The Earth is Our Mother) to the tribes and learn how they feel about their representation. This follow-up film concentrates on the Arhuaco Indians who continue to maintain their strong spiritual and cultural identity in the face of wide ranging attempts to grab their land, torment their spiritual leaders, and make their independent lifestyle untenable. The Arhuaco are unimpressed with the earlier film even though it attempts to plead their cause to the outside world. Physically small, garbed in pristine white with box-like headdresses, pain smolders on their faces when they speak of the injustice they have suffered, including the assassination of their spiritual leaders. The Journey Back gives voice to the ravages of their colonial history.Member of a series: The Earth is Our Mother (Part I)

Content: Why does one society survive, while others perish? When two cultures come into contact, how do exploitation, violence, and terror arise? Peter Elsass has been studying cultures in Columbia and Venezuela since 1973. Interested in the survival of various cultures in the face of encroaching white civilization, Elsass has visited and documented the successes and failures of five separate groups struggling to remain independent. Contrasting the Motilon Indians of the Venezuelan lowlands with the Arhuaco of the mountains of Colombia, Elsass describes how the Motilon became spiritually and economically impoverished after the first encounter with Catholic missionaries, while the Arhuaco, possessing a well-organized, hierarchical society, threw out the missionaries in a dramatic move and established their own independent education system. Elsass also describes the Colombian village, Chemescua, the Maroons (a society emerging from slaves), and even the population of Jonestown before its mass suicide, showing how by taking a stand against foreign influences minority cultures can maintain their cultural integrity. This in-depth study of the psychology of survival also contains a lengthy essay on anthropological advocacy prepared with Kirsten Hastrup. In their investigation into the role of the anthropologist in both representing the lives and pleading the cause of the people whom they study, they provide a starting point for a discussion of how to translate concern about the survival of ethnic minorities into action.

Content: Torture is among the most disturbing and psychologically devastating of human behaviors. It dehumanizes its victims, leaving them with serious and lasting psychological wounds. Like other psychological trauma, torture frequently leaves in its wake denial and silence among both perpetrators and their victims. This communicative void creates a public and mental block that can make treatment of torture survivors very difficult. Treating Victims of Torture and Violence is the definitive manual for therapists treating victims of torture, prisoners of war, and casualties of forced migration. Divided into five sections dealing with basic concepts of torture--violence and aggression, the torture syndrome, psychotherapeutic treatment, the cultural psychology of torture syndrome, and cultural psychological treatment-- Treating Victims of Torture and Violence employs both classic psychoanalytic and cognitive- behavioral methods. Realizing that torture victims are frequently from different cultures than those of their therapists, Peter Elsass provides in-depth aid to therapists dealing with a multicultural clientele.
