Summary: | Based on a research project on nationality and ethnicity on international borders in which I have been working since 2001, this paper examines the recent changes in the relationship between indigenous peoples, the State, and civil society on part of the international border which separates Brazil and Guyana. In this region, the transnational, the national and the local coexist and are constantly revised in the struggle of indigenous peoples to have their rights recognised. My research focuses part of this international border which is home to the Makushi and Wapishana indigenous peoples. |
