Sommario/riassunto

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In the Paraguayan Chaco, cattle ranching drives some of the world's fastest deforestation and most extreme land tenure inequality, with grave impacts on Indigenous well-being. Disrupting the Patrón traces struggles by the Enxet and



Sanapaná peoples to reclaim their ancestral lands from the cattle ranches where they labored as peons, to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and through their decades-long resistance in pursuit of decolonial futures. Joel E. Correia shows how Enxet and Sanapaná communities employ a dialectics of disruption by working with and against the law to challenge settler land control and enact environmental justice. Transiting contested geographies, Correia demonstrates that efforts to control land and resources reveal the limits of settler law to ensure Indigenous rights; in so doing, he uncovers that the politics of recognition are never merely about citizenship. This ethnographic work makes an important contribution to our understanding of environmental justice and Indigenous resurgence on Latin America's settler frontiers.
