From the Paper:

"The Yanomami people of Brazil have endured much in recent decades as white settlers and then western corporations violated the formerly pristine lands of the Amazon rainforest and greatly disrupted the indigenous ecosystem. More importantly for our discussion, however, the arrival of late-twentieth century globalization has both greatly impacted the social and cultural life of the Yanomami - and exacted a disturbing toll in terms of loss of life."
