Description: "Comprehensive well-researched study of the evolution of the Venezuelan-Brazilian border demarcation, from the colonial period to the 1990s. Examines diplomatic, political, economic, and demographic aspects of the bilateral interactions. Concludes with a discussion of problems generated during the late 1980s when the entry into Venezuelan territory of large numbers of Brazilian garimpeiros (illegal gold miners) led to diplomatic negotiations resulting in the creation of a binational aboriginal and ecological reserve"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
