Indigenous in the Brazilian Amazon: Refusing Missionaries and ‘Us’, the Global Plague
BARBARA ARISI
Last Sunday started with my phone ringing from a Dutch government alert. On my screen, as for all citizens of the country that use a smartphone (2G or 3G models did not receive it):
“Noodmelding NL alert22-03-2020. Volg instructies Rijksoverheid op: houd 1,5 meter afstand! Bent U ziek of verkouden? Bijf thuis. Bescherm Uzelf en de mensen om U heen. Samen tegen Corona. Keep your distance to others[1]“.
