Twenty years of BRICS: political and economic transformations through the lens of land

Abstract

These answers show that soy production on Kaingang lands is also of mediation with non-indigenous society that surrounds them, and can be understood as cancelling a radical otherness - the land as mother instead of factory of production - which is not taken seriously in the worlds informed by modern ontologies. Therefore, soy among the Kaingangs is a matter of partial connections, of devices that allow them to exist side by side with non-indigenous peoples . . . (p. 35, this issue)
