El extenso documento que da a conocer en este libro su autora, Purificación Gato Castaño, es un testimonio único sobre un periodo clave de la historia de los chiriguanos o guaraníes del sur de Picolmayo.

Pero es también una etapa especial para los indígenas chiriguanos quienes comienzan a enfrentarse con lo que sellará un siglo después su destino…
