Description

The Fifth Edition of Assault on Paradise continues to offer an in-depth exploration of Arembepe, Brazil, through the lens of cultural change and environmental activism. Combining the pioneering ethnographic research of Conrad Kottak with fresh insights from co-author Richard Pace, this seminal ethnographic study provides a comprehensive view of Arembepe’s evolution over the past six decades. Kottak’s original work captures Arembepe’s transformation from a serene fishing village to a global cultural hotspot during the 1960s hippie movement. His detailed observations offer students a foundational understanding of how cultural, social, and economic forces interact within a community. In this new edition, an updated chapter with new co-author Richard Pace reflects the current dynamics of the village. Contemporary developments in religious practices, the expansion of tourism, and local environmental activism are addressed. Kottak and Pace illustrate how Arembepe continues to navigate its identity amidst ongoing change.
