The Great Guarani and Kaiowá Peoples and their Struggle for Rights and for Life in Brazil
Valéria Burity,
Flavio Machado and Adelar Cupsinski

Their ongoing battle shows that self-determination is more than ever about the right to control natural resources. It is also a reminder that criminalization of land rights' defenders is on the rise across the planet.
