| Summary: | The book The Indigenous Movement in Brazil: From Tutelage to Protagonism (1974–1988), organized by researchers in the field of Indigenous studies Dr. Clovis Antonio Brighenti, professor of History at UNILA, and Egon Dionisio Heck, Master in Political Science from Unicamp and member of Cimi, is a collection of 13 articles divided into three parts. It also includes a preface written by anthropologist João Pacheco de Oliveira, full professor at the National Museum (UFRJ).
The work fills an important temporal gap in Brazilian indigenist historiography, spanning from the early 1970s until the enactment of the Federal Constitution of 1988. This was a crucial period in Indigenous history in Brazil, when Indigenous peoples were being violently decimated both physically—by the “modernization” projects of the military governments—and culturally, through the proposed legislation of Indigenous integration into the national community.
This book examines how Indigenous peoples in Brazil overcame the notions of state tutelage and integration, paving the way for the recognition of their social organization, languages, customs, beliefs, and traditions.
The first part is dedicated to the Indigenous movement, the assemblies, and the organizations that emerged, and it includes an article written by Nailton of the Pataxó People of Bahia, a protagonist in this process. The second part focuses on specific contexts of Indigenous actions and mobilizations, especially in the struggle for land rights. The third part is dedicated to analyzing state policies and the mobilizations against integration, as well as the efforts toward changing the legal framework in the 1988 Federal Constitution.
This process not only transformed the relationship between Indigenous peoples and the Brazilian state but also brought about profound changes in social struggles and in Brazil’s self-perception as a multicultural country—potentially advancing, in the future, toward interculturality. |
