Native Peoples, Politics, and Society in Contemporary Paraguay: Multidisciplinary Perspectives. Edited by Barbara A. Ganson. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2021. Maps. Figures. Tables. Notes. Bibliographies. Index. xv, 175 pp. Cloth, $75.00.

This new book on Paraguay brings to students and scholars a multidisciplinary approach rarely seen or equaled. This collective work includes a chronology with more than 35 dates that covers the period from 1981 to 2020. An introduction by Barbara A. Ganson selects important aspects of Paraguayan history, from the beginnings of the colony until the twenty-first century. While the first three chapters are anthropological essays, the last three essays take a political and economic approach, making this volume well balanced.
