REFLEXÕES SOBRE O IMPACTO DA GUERRA DO PARAGUAI PARA OS GUARANI E KAIOWÁ, NO PÓS-CONFLITO

Abstract

This article comments on the historical situation of the Guarani and Kaiowá from the post-war period against Paraguay, a historical milestone of indigenous territorial losses in the south of present-day Mato Grosso do Sul, and the intensification of the processes of exploration and colonization of this region, with lasting consequences for those populations. Moved by the persistence of the tragic situation experienced by those peoples. Authors who stand out in the study of the issue are used as theoretical references, such as Brand (1997); Mura (2006); Melià (2008); Oliveira and Pereira (2009), Vietta (2013); Benitez (2014); Oliveira and Esselin (2015), among others. These allow us to verify the historical roots of the tragedy of the Guarani and Kaiowá contemporaries. It concludes by perceiving the need to know the historical process that led to the losses and its persistence in its coloniais character in relation to indigenous peoples.
