Wie schön ist deine Stimme
"Mehr als achtzig Jahre liegt es zurück, dass deutschsprachige Europäer mit mennonitischem Hintergrund in das Land der Enlhet im zentralen Chaco von Paraguay einwanderten. Die Nachkommen dieser Europäer fühlen sich nicht mehr als Ankömmlinge, sondern als Einheimische. Die Enlhet bezeichnen sie dennoch als Sengelpaalha'vay', als „solche, die zu uns gekommen sind". Es ist offensichtlich: Beide Gruppen sehen den Chaco, in dem sie nebeneinander leben, mit verschiedenen Augen. Die Enlhet und die Einwanderer hatten und haben vielfältige Kontakte. Nicht alle haben dabei gelernt, aufeinander zu hören, und bei der Beziehung ohne Gespräch sind Brüche entstanden. „Wir wissen nicht, wie wir unsere Sicht zu Gehör bringen sollen", sagt etwa Ramón Ortiz. Er und andere Enlhet haben daher den Wunsch geäußert, dass ihre Berichte den deutschsprachigen Gruppen im Chaco zugänglich gemacht werden. Aus diesem Grund soll der vorliegende Band als ein Beitrag zum Gespräch zwischen den Enlhet und den Einwanderern verstanden werden: Er verleiht den Enlhet eine Stimme."--Back cover.
Don't Cry
The Enlhet, an Indigenous people of the Paraguayan Chaco, remained virtually untouched by colonialism until the 1920s. This changed with the arrival of Mennonites, who began settling in the centre of Enlhet territory in 1927; the Chaco War soon after (1932–35); the deadliest conflict in the western hemisphere after the American Civil War; and a terrible smallpox epidemic at the same time. In Don’t Cry the Enlhet give their own account of this period, focusing on their experiences of the war between Paraguay and Bolivia, in voices never before heard outside their own society. Their accounts, translated from the Enlhet language and set alongside sensitive historical-anthropological analysi...
Mala guerra
La guerra del Chaco (Paraguay - Bolivia, 1932-35) ha sido convencionalmente pensada como un conflicto entre Estados modernos que se habría desarrollado sobre un espacio vacío, el desierto verde de los manuales escolares. Una abundante bibliografía se ha ocupado de estudiar y analizar los elementos logísticos, militares, diplomáticos y sociales de la guerra : todo sigue ocurriendo como sí los ejércitos no hubiesen encontrado en su camino más rastro de vida humana que el de algún desertor emboscado. La guerra ha sido retrospectivamente “blanqueada” y las poblaciones indígenas han desaparecido, subrepticiamente, del teatro de batalla. No sólo esta operación ha permitido conforta...
Don't Cry
In Don't Cry;the Enlhet people give their own account of the Chaco War (1932-35) between Paraguay and Bolivia in voices never before heard outside their own society, translated from the Enlhet language. Their accounts, set alongside sensitive historical-anthropological analysis, allow unique access to these hitherto hidden perspectives.
The Paraguay Reader
Hemmed in by the vast, arid Chaco to the west and, for most of its history, impenetrable jungles to the east, Paraguay has been defined largely by its isolation. Partly as a result, there has been a dearth of serious scholarship or journalism about the country. Going a long way toward redressing this lack of information and analysis, The Paraguay Reader is a lively compilation of testimonies, journalism, scholarship, political tracts, literature, and illustrations, including maps, photographs, paintings, drawings, and advertisements. Taken together, the anthology's many selections convey the country's extraordinarily rich history and cultural heritage, as well as the realities of its struggl...
Reimagining the Gran Chaco
This volume traces the socioeconomic and environmental changes taking place in the Gran Chaco, a vast and richly biodiverse ecoregion at the intersection of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. Representing a wide range of contemporary anthropological scholarship that has not been available in English until now, Reimagining the Gran Chaco illuminates how the region’s many Indigenous groups are negotiating these transformations in their own terms. The essays in this volume explore how the region has become a complex arena of political, cultural, and economic contestation between actors that include the state, environmental groups and NGOs, and private businesses and how local actor...

Love and its Entanglements among the Enxet of Paraguay
In Love and its Entanglements among the Enxet of Paraguay: Social and Kinship Relations within a Market Economy, Stephen Kidd examines the affective discourse and value systems of the indigenous Enxet people. Kidd’s analysis focuses on how the Enxet navigate the market economy in Paraguay and the tensions it exerts on their commitment to egalitarianism, generosity, and personal autonomy.
