Summary: "This book is an ethnography of the Ayoreo of the Chaco region of Bolivia-Paraguay, among the last groups of South America's indigenous people to be "contacted." The book focuses on the sexual interactions between young Ayoreo women and the local Mennonite men and analyzes how their disparate ways of understanding sexual interactions affect the lives of these women and their families, entertaining questions of agency, violence, and the clash of culturally imposed conceptual schemes"-- Provided by publisher.
