Описание: The medicine based on the medicinal properties of plants is part of the tradition, culture and millennial wisdom of the indigenous people. The natives of Chaco have developed over time an valuable knowledge of a large variety of plants used for medical purposes. Native pharmacopoeia has always played an important role in the life of the indigenous and it is the first support they turn to, to resolve their health problems. In the last few years a lot of this precious knowledge has been lost. The movement of young natives into the cities has left the shamans and elderly with no-one to pass on their traditional medicine knowledge to; the advances of agricultural and breeding have brought about the alarming deforestation that is destroying the natural habitat of the medicinal vegetable species. The present research aims to recover the cultural and traditional information of the medicinal plants used by the native community of the ethnic group Enxet of Chaco. Much of the traditional knowledge about the use of the plants is being lost due to the intrusion of new cultures over time and also because there are no written sources available. The objective of this book is to recover the knowledge of the medicinal cares based on vegetables. To present this traditional information and to preserve it for years to come, so that it can be documented and safeguarded as an important aspect of the rich history of the indigenous people of Chaco.

Описание:
Hemmed in by the vast, arid Chaco to the west and, for most of its history, impenetrable jungles to the east, Paraguay has been defined largely by its isolation. Partly as a result, there has been a dearth of serious scholarship or journalism about the country. Going a long way toward redressing this lack of information and analysis, The Paraguay Reader is a lively compilation of testimonies, journalism, scholarship, political tracts, literature, and illustrations, including maps, photographs, paintings, drawings, and advertisements. Taken together, the anthology's many selections convey the country's extraordinarily rich history and cultural heritage, as well as the realities of its struggles against underdevelopment, foreign intervention, poverty, inequality, and authoritarianism.
Most of the Reader is arranged chronologically. Weighted toward the twentieth century and early twenty-first, it nevertheless gives due attention to major events in Paraguay's history, such as the Triple Alliance War (1864–70) and the Chaco War (1932–35). The Reader's final section, focused on national identity and culture, addresses matters including ethnicity, language, and gender. Most of the selections are by Paraguayans, and many of the pieces appear in English for the first time. Helpful introductions by the editors precede each of the book's sections and all of the selected texts.
Описание: This book is "Der umstrittine Weg der Mennoniten in die politische Verantwortung Das Biespiel Paraguay" translated into English. It is the history of the life of the Mennonites in Russia, the reasons for some to leave and settle in Paraguay, and their life in Paraguay.
