Kaiowcide: Living through the Guarani-Kaiowa Genocide is an analysis of the genocidal violence perpetrated against indigenous peoples in Brazil and towards the Guarani-Kaiowa. The ongoing indigenous genocide is defined as “Kaiowcide,” in place since the 1970s, when the Guarani-Kaiowa mobilized a reaction to land grabbing and oppression in the final years of the military dictatorship. The book is based on years of research on the agribusiness frontiers, on the indigenous geography of the Guarani-Kaiowa, and on sustained engagement with indigenous communities. Instead of merely describing the genocidal tragedy, the focus is on the life through genocide and trying to collectively go beyond it. One of the main contributions is to provide a robust interpretative analysis of the causes and the ramifications of the genocidal experience lived by the Guarani-Kaiowa. Rather than focusing on formalist notions of “direct intent” by settlers and governments, as a prerequisite for the tagging as genocide, this book emphasizes the destructive potential of the actors actively involved in agrarian capitalist transformations promoted by the national state in socio-economic frontiers.

This book is the result of a shared journey of discovery and hope. Walking through our territory (tekoha), together with our great indigenous leaders, as well as allied non-indigenous people, Ioris, as we affectionately call him, gradually learned about faces, bodies and landscapes marked by historical violence since the arrival of the white colonizers, who still today continue to privately appropriate wealth in the capitalist world. This book on Kaiowcide is product of these wanderings, of appetite for critical reflection and clear political commitment in defence of the people Guarani and Kaiowa. For all that, I want to express gratitude in the language of my people, aguyjevete (thank you very much).
