CASTRO, Eduardo Viveiros De. On the Notion of Ethnocide with Emphasis on the Case of Brazil. Estud. hist. mod. contemp. Mex [online]. 2020, n.60, pp.111-144.  Epub Mar 14, 2022. ISSN 0185-2620.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iih.24485004e.2020.60.71408.

The present essay is a discussion about the concept of ethnocide in the Brazilian context. It is aimed to explain the complex articulation of the concepts of genocide and ethnocide in the Brazilian and international laws, as well as to discern the definitions of the Indian and the indigenous in contemporary Brazil, before the start of a new wave of attacks against the rights of the Indian peoples of this country. To support this discussion, the author has retrieved the ideas and content of his own articles “O nativo relative” (2002) and “Os Involuntários da Pátria. Elogio do subdesenvolvimento” (2016).

Keywords : ethnocide; Brazil; indigenous peoples; indigenism; Brazilian Constitution.
