They say that the earth is going to burn, but now not because of a divine designation, but due to the devastation provoked for the “whites” the left without protection. This article will treat this perspective’s change. Keywords: Guarani cataclysmic perspective; cyclical temporality; historical temporality; indigenous leadership.Downloads
