Sobre IBD

Muitos brasileiros não sabem que os povos indígenas que habitam o Brasil estão crescendo em população. Muitíssimos nunca leram a história dramática de um povo que foi empurrado à beira da extinção mas conseguiu dar a volta por cima e sobreviver. Como isso aconteceu com o povo Yawalapiti? Eis o presente livro, escrito com esmero e com base numa prolongada e rica pesquisa de campo pelo antropólogo Adelino Mendes. Os Yawalapiti são um povo indígena que vive às margens do rio Tuatuari, um dos formadores do rio Xingu, na região Centro-Oeste do Brasil. Junto com outros povos indígenas da região, como os Kamayurá, os Kuikuro, os Waujá e outros, eles formam um complexo cultural extraordinário, conhecido como cultura xinguana. Nos últimos 12 anos Adelino passou, a cada vez, semanas e meses na aldeia ... Não somente conviveu com os índios como fez amizade sincera com muitos deles. Sua vocação de antropólogo fica evidente na descrição que faz desse povo e no relato de sua saga em busca da sua recomposição étnica e na luta persistente pela volta às antigas lagoas.
