The Aché and Guaraní: Thirty Years after Maybury-Lewis and Howe's Report on Genocide in Paraguay
For decades, scholars have wrestled with the moral issues raised by their privileged knowledge, skills and power. These issues came to a head in Latin American in the 1970s, as the worsening conditions of indigenous peoples’ galvanized activists to create institutions for immediate action. In quick succession, The Anthropological Resource Center (ARC), Cultural Survival, Survival International, and The International Working Group on Indigenous Af…
"The Effectiveness of Symbols" Revisited: Ayoreo Curing Songs
This essay considers a specific field of Amerindian knowledge, namely the sarode, or curing songs, of the Ayoreo of the Gran Chaco. It attempts to elucidate some of the taken-for-granted metaphysical assumptions that underlie Ayoreo epistemology.

A community development approach to Chagas' disease: The Sucre health project, Bolivia
This paper describes a programme to combat Chagas' disease run by the Sucre Health Project in the department of Chuquisaca, Bolivia. It shows how a community development approach to vector control has to combine health education, organizational promotion, housing improvement and fumigation if it is to achieve any long term impact. The paper also discusses the social conditions in which a programme of this type is likely to be replicable.
