- This 90,000 word monograph interrogates the role of indigenous land rights in decolonisation through an ethnographic case study of 36 Guaraní communities in Bolivia’s gas-rich Chaco region. The first book-length ethnography of indigenous territorial claims in Bolivia, it is based on 24 months of fieldwork in Bolivia (2008-9, 2011-12, 2014) with the overall research process taking ten years. Fieldwork was conducted in three languages. It combined institutional ethnography, 70+ interviews, documentary analysis, participatory mapping, focus groups, household survey, and 6 months participant observation in a remote Guaraní community. Research was funded by ESRC and a Ciriacy-Wantrup Postdoctoral Fellowship, UC Berkeley.
