“This volume captures modern, democratic Paraguay in all its social, political, and economic complexity, with important insights into the role of indigenous people and women as well as national politics and international trade.”—Gary Van Valen, author of Indigenous Agency in the Amazon: The Mojos in Liberal and Rubber-Boom Bolivia, 1842–1932
“The authors demonstrate that while Paraguay struggles with environmental destruction and continues to push for more inclusive rights for women and indigenous groups, there is hope for a more inclusive society as democratic rule slowly becomes the norm.”—E. Acevedo, Choice
