This book is the first of its kind and fills a very important gap in the anthropology and ethnohistory of the Gran Chaco, especially of the last thirty years. The editors have assembled an outstanding collection of articles by the top and well-recognized anthropologists working on the Gran Chaco. - Rene Harder Horst, author of A History of Indigenous Latin America: Aymara to Zapatistas; A much-needed collection of ethnographies written by experienced field workers, useful for understanding what is happening right now with Indigenous peoples in the region. This book presents little-known facts from the viewpoint of localized researchers, unveiling the effects of ethnicity, culture, Christian conversion, national identity, exploitation, and dispossession. - Marcela Mendoza, author of Juegos de combate entre varones de grupos etnograficos cazadores-recolectores.
