Reversing the perspective: The indians and the “others” in the Brazilian far west history

Abstract:

Founding on the results of a large research about tribal politics in the Brazilian West frontier (18th-20th centuries), in this essay the author reflects on the native peoples place in the history of that region, enphasizing the epochal changes both in the action of the involved actors and the Indians representations in the Luso-Brazilian culture.
