For a long time, Indigenous peoples were portrayed only as vulnerable populations in the face of these crises. However, recent research shows something different: Indigenous peoples are not only resisting destruction, but also producing concrete alternatives to regenerate territories, restore ecological relationships, and build sustainable ways of living.
How was land actually assigned to families? Did the fascist administration follow the technical rules it claimed to use, or was the allocation of land shaped by other practical and administrative factors?

The authors present a strong case for reimagining modern societies with a focus on care norms and practices. Care is intrinsically valuable and should not be exclusively linked to gender or perceived merely as a secondary concern in relation to work.
The prevalence of capitalism in today’s global economy underscores the necessity for alternative economic paradigms, driven by concerns over the dominance of profit maximization and extraction within autonomous and free markets.
