ADOPTION OF GUARANI CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS BY NON-INDIGENOUS FAMILIES

This seminal work marks a transformative contribution to international academic debate by examining the profound psychosocial ruptures produced by forced cultural transposition. Written by a scholar whose lineage unites the 18th‑century Colonel Ricardo Franco de Almeida Serra and Mariana Guaná of the Indigenous Guaná Nation, the study carries unique historical and epistemic legitimacy. Grounded in Vygotsky’s Cultural‑Historical Theory and positioned within Health Psychology, it analyzes how transcultural adoption can destabilize subjectivity and the ontological integrity of First Nations. The author advances two original doctrinal contributions: the Doctrine of Quadruple Judicial Protection of Indigenous Children and the framework of Intentional or Negligent Ethnocide. By revealing the persistence of colonial bias that objectifies Indigenous children and disregards extended family structures, this interdisciplinary work becomes an essential reference in Psychology, International Law, and Anthropology, reaffirming the inalienable right of every nation to memory, culture, and ancestral identity.
