| 要約: | Operation Welcome was created in 2018 by the Brazilian government to deal with the influx of Venezuelans arriving in the country, including indigenous peoples. Based in the state of Roraima, it is an operation that has a military arm (Army) and a civilian arm (Social Assistance), in addition to support from United Nations agencies and NGOs through partnerships and shared governance. This article analyzes one of the axes of the operation, namely “reception.” The focus is on some of the services offered within shelters for indigenous people, such as food, hygiene, and security. By describing some of the social situations I observed within these spaces, we will see, through the lenses of the Warao, military personnel, humanitarian workers, and missionaries not only different perspectives and worldviews, but also different moral economies. The conflicts that structured the relationships between actors and institutions revealed both colonial recurrences and contemporary configurations characteristic of humanitarian military governments. |
