Sommario/riassunto

Rich selection of texts and experiences on the issue of indigenous health in Brazil, originating from discussions in a workshop held at the V Brazilian Congress of Epidemiology (Curitiba, 2002). Written by researchers who study the most different aspects of the subject, it brings an important and innovative contribution to a theme that has emerged as of great importance in the field of public health in Brazil in recent years. It offers a wide, detailed and updated overview of indigenous health in the country, contemplating reflections based on the different areas of knowledge that make up collective health.
