Description: "Mexican anthropologist's analysis of emergence of the Brazilian indigenous movement is based on interviews with participants and documentary material, leading up to the major gains in indigenous rights achieved by the 1988 Assembléia Nacional Constituente campaign. Briefly traces historical antecedents of the modern movement, the context of its emergence in the 1970s, the legislative reforms of the 1988 Constitution, and the continuing threats to indigenous rights"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
