Abstract

ALJANATI, Lucía Inés  and  GARCIA, Stella Maris. To be Ava guaraní, to be the land. Ethnography of a social drama in pandemic times. Avá [online]. 2020, n.37, pp.73-94.  Epub July 23, 2020. ISSN 1851-1694.

Through this ethnography, we analyze the tensions of the current re-territorialization process of the Ava Guaraní community (Iwi Imemb’y-Hijos de la Tierra) settled today in the florihorticultural zone of La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina, as a result of the expulsion they suffered from the territories that inhabited the northwest of the country. Complex circumstances in which territorial disputes, the state bureaucracy and structural racism are entangled, prevent their relocation and exacerbate the challenges in the framework of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Keywords : Indigenous rights; Suitable lands; Social drama; COVID-19.
