AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
During the period of 1914-1916, the Shokleng (Xokleng) Indians of Southern Brazil, who were previously both economically and politically independent, were brought under the protection of the Brazilian state by a process known as "pacification." In this paper Urban defines what the process of pacification involves and how it is differentially interpreted by Shokleng informants and official of the Brazilian government. Pacification, basically a form of domination, is described in detail as it applies to the Indian population.
