Items related to Red Gold: Conquest of the Brazilian Indians
This text tell a story of genocide, European ruthlessness and Indian gullibility. In the 16th century the history of the Brazilian Indians was the history of Brazil itself. There were millions of natives living in the half of South America that is now Brazil but since its conquest the native peoples of South America have diminished and declined. In this book, Hemming - author of "The Amazon Frontier" which continues the story of the Brazilian Indians - tells the grim and tragic story of the beginning of that decline.

"'A comprehensive and absorbing account' Economist"
About the Author:
John Hemming was Director of the Royal Geographical Society in London from 1975 to 1996. He has been on several surveying and environmental-research expeditions to unexplored parts of Amazonia, and has probably visited more Indian tribes than any other non-Brazilian. He is the author of fourteen books including the prize-winning The Conquest of the Incas.
