Brazil : the background, the issues, the people par Jan Rocha
This Oxfam Profile lays bare the workings of a society in which, since the arrival of the first Europea settlers in 1500, a rich minority has ruthlessly defended its interests at the expense of the dispossessed and powerless majority.
Using eyewitness accounts, Murder in the Rainforest tells the gripping story behind the Hazimu massacre for the first time. Set in the contest of the Amazon gold rush, it describes the tragic cultural misunderstanding between the gold miners and the Yanomami and analyses the role of gold fever in the destruction of the Amazon rainforest and its people.
