• Resumen

  • This careful re-examination of historical information�both written and oral�on the Xavante people of Central Brazil, demonstrates how the complex relations between national-global economics and politics and local autonomous indigenous projects are intertwined in different historical contexts. The author focuses on territorial mobility, the rights of Indian peoples to land, the problems of government indigenous and developmental policies, interethnic conflicts, and the organization process of the Indian movement in Brazil to offer a positioned reading of Xavante history
