Description:
The story told in this book is about an unlikely cast of characters (ranchers, peasants, loggers, Indians, goldminers, rubber farmers, and various bureaucrats and investors) who set in motion a sequence of events that forever changed the social and physical landscape of the Brazilian Amazon. The authors show how deforestation, m settlement patterns and the intensity of rural violence were out-comes of the competition for resources among social groups capable of mobilizing varying degrees of power.
