1. Indios Antes Do Brasil
A concise, cross-disciplinary account that reconstructs the lives, social organizations, cosmologies and territorial practices of indigenous peoples in the region that became Brazil before and during early contact, showing their great cultural diversity and historical agency. Drawing on ethnography, archival records and Indigenous oral traditions, it challenges national narratives that erase or marginalize native presence, traces how colonial encounters transformed — but did not simply extinguish — Indigenous worlds, and emphasizes continuities in resistance, adaptation and political claims that shape contemporary Indigenous struggles.
