Kaiowcide: Living through the Guarani-Kaiowa Genocide is an
analysis of the genocidal violence perpetrated against indigenous
peoples in Brazil and towards the Guarani-Kaiowa. The ongoing
indigenous genocide is defined as "Kaiowcide," in place since the
1970s, when the Guarani-Kaiowa mobilized a reaction to land
grabbing and oppression in the final years of the military
dictatorship. The book is based on years of research on the
agribusiness frontiers, on the indigenous geography of the
Guarani-Kaiowa, and on sustained engagement with indigenous
communities. Instead of merely describing the genocidal tragedy,
the focus is on the life through genocide and trying to
collectively go beyond it. One of the main contributions is to
provide a robust interpretative analysis of the causes and the
ramifications of the genocidal experience lived by the
Guarani-Kaiowa. Rather than focusing on formalist notions of
"direct intent" by settlers and governments, as a prerequisite for
the tagging as genocide, this book emphasizes the destructive
potential of the actors actively involved in agrarian capitalist
transformations promoted by the national state in socio-economic
frontiers.
