Angaité's responses to deforestation
The Gran Chaco, the second largest biome of South America, entered a phase of deep and fast environmental changes a few decades ago. Indigenous peoples are amongst those most affected. This dissertation focuses on the responses of the Angaité of La Patria to altered access, use and management of natural resources inside and outside their colony over the past 20 years (1995-2015). From a third-generation political ecologists’ perspective, I consider the Angaité’s adaptation a transformation of cosmographical practices because the latter contribute to the production of a particular place or territory and a particular understanding of the world.
Disrupting the Patrón
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In Paraguay’s Chaco region, cattle ranching drives some of the world’s fastest deforestation and most extreme inequality in land tenure, with grave impacts on Indigenous well‑being. Disrupting the Patrón traces Enxet and Sanapaná struggles to reclaim their ancestral lands from the cattle ranches where they labored as peons—a decades-long resistance that led to the Inter‑American Court of Human Rights and back to the frontlines of Paraguay’s ranching frontier. The Indigenous communities at the heart of this sto...

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...

Native Peoples, Politics, and Society in Contemporary Paraguay
This unique collection of multidisciplinary essays explores recent developments in Paraguay over the course of the last thirty years since General Alfredo Stroessner fell from power in 1989. Stroessner's strong authoritarian legacy continues to exert an impact on Paraguay's political culture today, where the conservative Colorado Party continues to dominate much of the political landscape in spite of the country having transitioned into a modern democracy. The essays in Native Peoples, Politics, and Society in Contemporary Paraguay provide new understandings of how Paraguay has become more integrated into the regional economy and societies of Latin America and changed in unexpected ways. The scholarship examines how the political change impacted Paraguayans, especially its indigenous population, and how the country adapted as it emerged from authoritarian traditions. Each contribution is exemplary in the scope and depth of its understanding of Paraguay, especially its indigenous peoples, politics, women's rights, economy, and natural environment.

Agrarismos
O termo "agrarismos" escolhido para encabeçar o título, reflete uma perspectiva compartilhada por seus doze autores: analisar o mundo rural a partir de um olhar inclusivo. Sua utilização no plural busca semantizar as diversidades de realidades a serem abordadas, diversidades estas que se dão no tempo e no espaço. A obra reúne questões do mundo rural contemporâneo em nove países da América Latina: Argentina, Bolívia, Brasil, Chile, Colômbia, Cuba, Paraguai, Peru e Uruguai, assim como as experiências de pesquisas de historiadores, sociólogos e antropólogos sobre o mundo agrário latino-americano. Lutas camponesas, resistências, processo de paz na Colômbia, impactos socioambientais do "desenvolvimento", saúde, trabalho, controle social na fronteira amazônica, produção de soja na Bolívia e Paraguai, preços agrários nos primórdios da commoditização, reformas agrárias, cidadania e propriedade de terra. Temas que não esgotam as possibilidades de abordagens e que representam um leque significativo dos problemas que estão sendo estudados pela História, Antropologia e Sociologia na conjuntura atual.
Frontier Intimacies
Until the 1960s, the Ayoreo people of Paraguay's Chaco region had remained uncontacted by the world. But as development encroached on their territory, the Ayoreo began to experience rapid cultural change. Paola Canova looks at one aspect of this change in Frontier Intimacies: the sexual practices of Ayoreo women, specifically the curajodie, or single women who exchange sex for money or material goods with non-Ayoreo men, often Mennonite settlers. Weaving personal anecdotes into her extensive research, Canova shows how the advancement of economic and missionary frontiers has reconfigured gender roles, sexual ethics, and notions of desire in the region. Ayoreo women, she shows, have reappropri...
Saberes locales, paisajes y territorios rurales en América Latina
Este libro propone ofrecer al lector algunas vivencias de investigadores e investigadoras de universidades y centros académicos latinoamericanos acerca de los “Saberes, paisajes y territorios rurales de América Latina”. Este proyecto, además de permitir el conocimiento de diferentes realidades de nuestro continente, se inserta en el objetivo político de impulsar acciones alternativas para instituir lo que está separado, restituyendo a los sistemas de conocimiento, de valores y de prácticas su vitalidad y su compromiso con lo que está en peligro, debido a la ceguera de las ideologías, la desvalorización de lo que resiste a la contabilidad y la ‘crematización’ del mercado, al igual que la sordera arrogante de la crítica que emerge de su propia irracionalidad. El libro se ha basado en diálogos que respeten la diversidad y las diferencias.
