Recenzii

Land and Dignity in Paraguay is an excellent and unusual book. It is not only a well written account of the rich case of indigenous communities survival; it is a well-crafted conflict resolution analysis of dynamical processes that shaped a nation and a continent. The rise of indigenous movements is one of the greatest continental innovation of the last decades. This book offers a clear and hopeful understanding of how dignity provided the conceptual framework for such historical transformations. The conflict resolution field is made stronger by contributions such as this -Dr. Andrea Bartoli, Director, Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution George Mason University
