| Scope and content | This collection of 5 documents, 2 translated from Portuguese and 1 translated from German, are about the Terena, a subgroup of the Guana who lived originally in the northeastern area of the Paraguayan Chaco. Oberg is a study of culture change in Terena society resulting from contact and interaction with the Caduveo, the Mbayá, and Brazilian culture in general. The theme of culture change is continued in Oliveira, which attempts to record and interpret the processes of social interaction between Terena and Brazilian society with the goal of determining the operative socio-cultural mechanism affecting the more specific process of assimilation. Baldus is a study of the succession to chieftainship within a Terena group living near the city of Miranda in the southern part of the Brazilian Mato Grosso. This study also contains some incidental information on such aspects of Terena ethnography as names and naming, eschatology, conception and pregnancy, marriage regulations and arrangements, and kinship terminology and relationships. The second work included by Oliveira is a structural analysis of the Terena marriage and social stratification system. |
