Klappentext "In this instructive and original work, modernity and the drama of globalization offer a historical horizon in relation to which both the activity of the anthropologist and the problems faced by the Yshiro communities in Paraguay are explored. Border dialogue (perhaps even border anthropology) is born precisely in the encounter between modern globalizing tendencies and the opening up of a different global imaginary, one rooted in the reality of there being many epistemic and social worlds.""--"Nelson Maldonado-Torres, author of "Against War: Views from the Underside of Modernity" Zusammenfassung An ethnography exploring the encounter between modernizing visions of development! the place-based life projects of the Yshiro indigenous people of the Paraguayan Chaco! and the agendas of scholars and activists.
