This volume traces the socioeconomic and environmental changes
taking place in the Gran Chaco, a vast and richly biodiverse
ecoregion at the intersection of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and
Paraguay. Representing a wide range of contemporary anthropological
scholarship that has not been available in English until now,
Reimagining the Gran Chaco illuminates how the region's many
indigenous groups are negotiating these transformations in their
own terms. The essays in this volume explore how the region has
become a complex arena of political, cultural, and economic
contestation between actors that include the state, environmental
and NGOs, and private businesses and how local actors are
reconfiguring their subjectivities and political agency in
response. With its multinational perspective, and its examination
of major themes including missionization, millenarian movements,
the Chaco war, industrial enclaves, extractivism, political
mobilization, and the struggle for rights, this volume brings
greater visibility to an underrepresented, complex region.
