Abstract

Authors try to analyze Christian discourse on ethnic differences. They base on the narrative of "life and customs" of the Lengua hunter-gatherers of the Paraguayan Chaco. This narrative dates from the late 19th Century and has been recorded by the Anglican missionary Barbrooke Grubb who worked in the field for more than twenty years. Authors are not so much interested in inquiring about the Maniche an rhetoric of the missionary message, that is well known. They are concerned about issues and problems coming out communication. They concentrate on a specific relation with the ethnic Other marked by the "silence and misunderstanding proof'. They argue that such proof is definitely the similar matter focused both by the missionary and the anthropologist, which is the practice of Ethnography.
