Tobati : Tradition and Change in a Paraguayan Town TOBATI: TRADITION AND CHANGE IN A PARAGUAYAN TOWN BY JAMES ESTON HAY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1993 UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LIBRARIES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was funded by a Fulbright HE Dissertation Fellowship under the U.S. Department of Education, and a Dissertation Fellowship from the Organization of American States. I am most grateful for the support of both institutions in completing the fieldwork necessary for this study. I especially thank Mr. Alan Rogers, United States Information Service in Asuncion, and Sr. Atilio Nieto, special operations officer of the Organization of American States, in the same city, for their personal attention during my stay in Paraguay. During the many years I worked with the Peace Corps and with private business in Paraguay, I made many close friends, met many people, and made contact with many institutions in both the governmental and private sectors. When I returned to Paraguay to embark on the present study, I was grateful that those people were there to greet me and help me in so many ways. I often prevailed upon the kindness and patience of old friends and acquaintances, as much for camaraderie as for assistance in my work. Due to the help of many individuals, I bypassed much of the red tape and bureaucratic "channels" (truly the bane of researchers in Latin American countries) that otherwise would have made life so much more difficult and less pleasurable. I was especially happy to see old friends and colleagues among the Paraguayan staff of the Peace Corps as well as the directors and staff of MONITOR S.A. with whom I worked for four years. At the Peace Corps office, my close friends Ing. Antonio Dacak and (compoblano) Pedro Souza never failed to meet me with ice cold terere and stimulating conversation. Both men are campesinos in fact and in heart and never failed to offer insights into what it is that makes things tick in rural Paraguay. John McClosky, assistant director of the Peace Corps's training center in Aregua, was also a source of not only penetrating observations, but material support as well. At MONITOR, Dr. Alfredo Ratti and Arminda Ramirez remained close friends who were likely to declare any event occasion for an asado, or Paraguayan barbeque, and rally the staff of the organization for a morale booster at propitious times. I was once again welcomed at the Centro Paraguayo de Estudios Sociologies (CPES), a private research institution for social research that fills an enormous gap in Paraguayan studies because of the paucity of government support for sociological studies in the universities. The directors of the institution, Drs. Domingo Rivarola and Graziella Corvalan, both eminent figures in Parauayan studies, generously provided office space, archival access, and practical assistance even as they struggled for scarce resources themselves. There has been a dramatic increase in research, scholarship, and writing among a dynamic group of younger individuals in Paraguay. I noticed, above all, that Paraguayan intellectuals tend to differ from their North American colleagues in that they are very much more committed to praxis, in connecting scholarship with actual experience. These are people who are often difficult to locate in their offices because they are more likely to be far from the in comforts of the city in order to glean essential data at its source— directly from the people. This kind of research may be much more critical for Paraguayans who lack access to the marvelous resources in basic data and comparative material available in other parts of the world, but it is clear that these people are dedicated to the proposition that knowledge is best learned from direct experience rather than digested whole from anonymous sources. Among these people, I especially benefitted from the companionship, generosity, and criticism of Dr. Ramon Fogel, director of a new research and action organization called the Centro de Estudios Rurales Interdisciplinarios. Other interested scholars in the country who were generous with their time included Miguel Chase- Sardi, Daniel Campos, and Oleg Vysokolan, as well as Digno Britez in the social action section of the Comite de Iglesias. There is a close group of Paraguay aficionados and expatriates in this country often referred to as the "Paraguayan Mafia" and there is a small but thriving contingent of that Mafia who transported the terere custom to Gainesville. Without those friends it would have been a much lonelier place for a Paraguayanist, so I would like to thank Jody and Cathy Stallings (who introduced me to Gainesville), Peter Cronkleton, and Jon Dain and Karen Kainer, who all provided an opportunity for me to talk freely about my favorite subject. Other friends of the "Mafia" in Washington, D.C., who provided valuable help during the course of this project included Frank O'Hara (former Director of the Peace Corps in Paraguay), Kate Raftery, Mark Hathaway, and Paul Davis. IV I was certainly no less fortunate in the support and guidance I enjoyed at the University of Florida. The individuals on my graduate committee, chaired by Dr. Maxine Margolis, have always been a source not only of knowledge, but of inspiration. Dr. Margolis has been exceedingly patient throughout the ordeal of writing this dissertation, and without her consistent encouragement, it might never have been completed. Many thanks are due to Drs. Marianne Schmink, Helen Safa, Michael Moseley, Marvin Harris, and Murdo MacLeod for many years of support, guidance, instruction, and criticism. All of these people have convinced me of the value of anthropology as a discipline, and the history of social change in Latin America as a subject. Also, I was exceedingly fortunate to have known Dr. Charles Wagley during his lifetime. It was thanks mainly to his personal encouragement and support that I embarked upon this project, and I join his many students and colleagues in my very fond memories of this great scholar and gentleman. I am no less indebted to all my fellow basement-dwellers, companeros and colleagues in the Anthropology department. Only one's friends and fellows can truly understand and appreciate the high points and low points of a graduate career and dissertation experience. Also, as sources of knowledge and insights they are as valuable as any resource the University has to offer. The list of people who have helped me with their friendship and sympathy during these years is too lengthy to mention each of them by name, but I trust they know who they are and will accept my thanks. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude, however, to Bryan Byrne, a fellow anthropology student who had the dubious luck of living next door to me in Gainesville as I was completing this dissertation. Bryan was exceedingly generous with his time and expertise, especially in terms of data processing. He was endlessly patient with my requests for technical assistance, and also served as a forthright and capable critic of the written work. He and Nathalie Lebon were a constant source of encouragement, but their nearby presence also offered a convenient place of escape when escape was clearly indicated. Upon returning from Paraguay I was fortunate to find work in the Map and Image Library of the University of Florida, surely a congenial place for an anthropologist! Dr. Helen Jane Armstrong, the Map Librarian, and Mil Willis, Archivist, were both extremely helpful in adjusting their own busy schedules to my needs, as well as in acquiring Paraguayan materials for the collection. I would also like to acknowledge the help of Richard Scholz, a student employee in the Map Library, who created the maps for this dissertation. I also received help from the department for Spain, Portugal, and Latin America (SPLAT) of Watson Library, at the University of Kansas. Shelley Miller, the Director of the collection, was always helpful in making the extensive collection of Paraguayan materials at Kansas available to me. Finally, I express my deepest thanks to the great people of the town of Tobati, Paraguay, who welcomed me into their town and into their lives. I admire them and thank them as much for their patience as well as for their helpful friendliness during the nearly eighteen months I was their neighbor. Once again, there are so many people who I remember, and who were so generous with their time, that it would be impossible to name them all. I was welcomed into a group of close friends who drank terere or cold beers at the cope tin of Luis and Mirta Morales de Ramos. The little bar was located directly on the main street and near the church, where we could catch the best view or else get the freshest gossip of everything that happened in town. It was also the best place for heated debates on social issues with my friend Luis Baltazar (Nene) Macchi, for we could get an idea of public consensus from an audience of very vocal participants. Nata Rivarola, Armando Rivarola, and their four wonderful children made me feel like part of their family. Each person in that very engaging family gave me a completely different and candid view of the ups and downs of everyday life in Tobati. I would often leave their house only to stop by and chat with Jose and Angelica Zaracho de Finestra, who were especially sensitive to the civic conscience of the town. Jose's mother and aunt were close friends of the Services's over forty years ago, and they loved to tell me about the Tobati of earlier times.

  • Country of Women? Repercussions of the Triple Alliance War in Paraguay∗
    Country of Women? Repercussions of the Triple Alliance War in Paraguay∗ Jennifer Alix-Garcia Laura Schechter Felipe Valencia Caicedo Oregon State University UW Madison University of British Columbia S. Jessica Zhu Precision Agriculture for Development April 5, 2021 Abstract Skewed sex ratios often result from episodes of conflict, disease, and migration. Their persistent impacts over a century later, and especially in less-developed regions, remain less understood. The War of the Triple Alliance (1864{1870) in South America killed up to 70% of the Paraguayan male population. According to Paraguayan national lore, the skewed sex ratios resulting from the conflict are the cause of present-day low marriage rates and high rates of out-of-wedlock births. We collate historical and modern data to test this conventional wisdom in the short, medium, and long run. We examine both cross-border and within-country variation in child-rearing, education, labor force participation, and gender norms in Paraguay over a 150 year period. We find that more skewed post-war sex ratios are associated with higher out-of-wedlock births, more female-headed households, better female educational outcomes, higher female labor force participation, and more gender-equal gender norms. The impacts of the war persist into the present, and are seemingly unaffected by variation in economic openness or ties to indigenous culture. Keywords: Conflict, Gender, Illegitimacy, Female Labor Force Participation, Education, History, Persistence, Paraguay, Latin America JEL Classification: D74, I25, J16, J21, N16 ∗First draft May 20, 2020.

Los umbrales del siglos XX como ejemplo Mauricio Gómez Garozzo Universidad Nacional de Asunción [email protected] http://grupoparaguay.org/ [email protected] Acercamiento epistémico a una tipología de las transiciones violentas en Paraguay. Los umbrales del siglos XX como ejemplo PALABRAS CLAVE: Transición Gubernamental, Violencia política, Conflicto, Golpe de Estado, Revolución RESUMEN La presente investigación toma como tema central a la diversidad de fenómenos que constituyen los mecanismos que subvirtiendo el sistema jurídico y que trastornando el orden político esperado generan nuevos gobiernos (ejecutivos) mediante procesos violentos, en sí y con exteriorización o no, de esa violencia a formas exteriores, adquiriendo una serie variable de identidades particulares según vayan fortaleciéndose o debilitándose elementos identificadores mas o menos generales o únicos. Se pretende un acercamiento racional, objetivo, medible y justificable de dichos procesos, para lo cual se ha desarrollado una matriz de análisis desde una tipificación significativa al periodo, entendiendo que los hechos ocurren en un contexto. Se hace una descripción de los mecanismos, de sus características, y de su habitualidad, resaltándose el tipo fundamental por su regularidad. Se ensaya un modelo típico y se pretende entender como los gobiernos resultantes son mas o menos capaces de permanecer en el tiempo. INTRODUCCION Una identificación unívoca de las transiciones de gobierno se hace generalmente esquiva por diferentes razones, pero no sea este un recuento de aquello que no se puede, o no se hace, sino de aquello que es posible.

  • Native American Cultures Along the Atlantic Littoral of South America, 1499-1650
    Proceedings of the British Academy, 81, 197-231 Native American Cultures along the Atlantic Littoral of South America, 1499-1650 NEIL L. WHITEHEAD Department of Anthropology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53706-1393 Summary. The main features of cultural and social change among the native peoples of the Atlantic coast of South America from 1499 to 1650 are described and analysed. Standard anthropological models are critically assessed and new directions in research are indicated. A detailed history of the development of European colonial activity and Amerindian reactions is given and the aftershock of European impacts evaluated on the basis of the ethnological material from the period of first contact. The concluding section considers the problems and limitations of analysing cultural change in anthropological contexts. THISESSAY DESCRIBES the process of interaction and cultural change that took place along the Atlantic littoral of South America with the initial meeting of the “two worlds” of America and Europe. The discussion will not involve an extended narration of the episodes of contact between Native Americans and Europeans, since this may readily be found in such standard works as Southey (1810-19), Vamhagen (1858), Marchant (1966), Ojer (1966), Goslinga (1971), Hemming (1978), and most recently in the collected papers of the The Cambridge History of Latin America (Bethell 1984, 1987). My purpose in this chapter is to offer an examination of archaic cultural forms, using present knowledge of colonial history and modem ethnography as a baseline for the discussion of change in the first century of contact. 0 The British Academy 1993.

With this frame, the war between Bolivia and Paraguay over the Northern Chaco region (1932–1935) emerges as a paradigmatic conflict that many in the Americas interpreted as resulting from the conspiracy man- oeuvres of foreign oil interests to grab land supposedly rich in oil. At the heart of such interpretation, projected by those critical of the fratricidal war, were partial and extrapolated facts, which sidelined the weight of long-term disputes between these South American countries traumatised by previous international wars resulting in humiliating defeats and territorial losses, and thus prone to welcome warfare to bolster national pride and overcome the memory of past debacles.

E­mail: [email protected] RESUMO: Uma rede de caminhos históricos conhecida como Peabiru foi construída ligando o sul do Brasil com os Andes peruanos. O caminho desapareceu durante a era colombiana, mas foi um importante testemunho da época pré­colombiana brasileira. Visando compreender as migrações humanas durante o período pré­colombiano ao redor Peabiru, foi examinada a relação genética existente entre variedades de milho crioulo moderno e outras arqueológicas, com base no gene ADH2. As sequências DNA derivadas de Peabiru foram agrupadas com espécimes arqueológicos dos Andes, sugerindo uma exploração de milho em torno desse caminho histórico, envolvendo população andina pré­colombiana e nativos Guarany, e endossando o debate sobre a presença de populações humanas pré­colombianas próximas a área de transição em torno de fronteira Brasil­Paraguai . ABSTRACT: A historic net of pathways referred to as Peabiru was constructed connecting the southern of Brazil with the Peruvian Andes. The path disappeared during the Colombian era but was an important testimony of the Brazilian pre­Colombian epoch. To understand the human migrations during the pre­Colombian around Peabiru we examined the genetic relationship of modern landraces and archaeological maize considering the ADH2 gene.
