“Pastaza” is a book category centered on the landscapes, peoples, and histories of the Pastaza River basin and the province of Pastaza in the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Amazon. It includes fiction and nonfiction that immerse readers in rainforest ecology, river journeys, and indigenous lifeworlds—especially Kichwa, Shuar, and Achuar communities—and their languages, myths, and contemporary struggles. Titles may range from travel writing, ethnography, memoir, poetry, and oral tradition retellings to eco-fiction, magical realism, and investigative reporting. Common themes include biodiversity and conservation, land rights, the legacies of missions and the rubber/oil frontiers, cross-border identities, and the tension between extraction and stewardship. Above all, “Pastaza” books foreground place as a living presence and elevate local voices alongside outsiders’ encounters.
