Neste livro, a autora discute as diferenças geográficas entre a Reserva Indígena de Dourados e os acampamentos-tekoha, territórios onde vivem os povos guarani e kaiowá, no município de Dourados/Mato Grosso do Sul. Segundo a autora, as diferenças geograficas no surgem apenas pelas feiçes materiais do espaço geografico, mas, sobretudo, pelas diferenças sempre complexas presentes nos processos des-reterritorializaço a multiterritorialidade , de construço e destruiço de territorios, nas conexes e desconexes que perpassam as tramas etnico-identitarias, as narrativas, as memorias e as estrategias cotidianas de resistencias que esto sendo construidas pelos Guarani e Kaiowa. Na reserva, as praticas socioespaciais so decorrentes, preponderantemente, do conjunto de açes impostas pelo Estado brasileiro por meio de seus projetos colonialistas, sobretudo a partir das decadas finais do seculo XIX. Os acampamentos-tekoha, no entanto, apresentam a tentativa de reconstruço e afirmaço etnico-identitarias e de descolonizaço das praticas socioespaciais impostas pelo projeto civilizatorio do Estado. O desafio deste livro centrou-se em repensar e imaginar no somente os povos indigenas na sociedade brasileira, mas contribuir para as multiplas formas de imaginar o espaço na Geografia, que neste livro imaginamos a partir das cosmogeografias guarani e kaiowa.
