Description: The book presents recent studies on the indigenous peoples who inhabit or inhabited both the coast and the interior of São Paulo, presenting a panorama of history and current events of those populations that have resisted and still resist in defending their rights and ways of life. The book is organized in four parts. The section "historicity" brings a reflection on the presence and enslavement of the natives in São Paulo and the contact with Europeans during the colonial period. It reports on the transformations of the indigenous policies of that moment with an ethnographic panorama that locates each group in the state. It also presents a discussion about the occupation in the interior and analyzes the presence of the Kaingang based on documents and stories about their pacification in the west of São Paulo.^

The second, on "territoriality", outlines the various forms of socio-political organization of the Guarani networks, articulating notions such as territoriality and territory. It brings data about the Tenonde Porã village and describes how different Mbya collectives organize themselves within the same Indigenous Land with a large population contingent. It also expresses the ways in which the Guarani Tupi of Baron of Antonina (Phyau village) seek to "live well" as in the "time of the ancients". Entitled "knowledge", the third part proposes to think about how experiences of mobility and communication between people and places can collaborate with the exercise and circulation of eruditions. It points out how the Mbya acquire knowledge that comes from the vertical plane (divinities) to guide and heal the horizontal plane (earthly life) and discusses indigenous children and their stay in the spaces of the homes of their mothers and maternal grandmothers.^

The last part, "differences and identities", deals with the links between Tupi Guarani families on the coast of São Paulo. It provides a description of the processes of constitution of people, relatives and "groups" and of the relations employed by the families of the Vanuíre village (Arco-Íris-SP) and ends with the Guarani Tupi of the Piaçaguera Indigenous Land, on the south coast.
