Description: "Part history, part ethnography, this attractive study examines the identity and world view of the Kaiová, a Guaraní-speaking indigenous group of Mato Grosso do Sul. Argues that for this group, history and time are defined through ritual song and sacred words, which in turn can be interpreted to understand the processes of colonization, religious syncretism, and economic exploitation"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 213-225).
