"Mapping Time, Space and the Body: Indigenous Knowledge and Mathematical Thinking in Brazil" by Mariana Kawall Leal Ferreira explores the intersection of indigenous knowledge systems and mathematical concepts within Brazilian cultures. The book examines how indigenous communities understand and navigate concepts of time, space, and the body through unique frameworks that differ from Western mathematics. By delving into ethnographic studies, Ferreira highlights the richness of indigenous perspectives and their implications for broader mathematical thinking. The work advocates for the recognition and integration of these knowledge systems into contemporary discourse, emphasizing their relevance and value in understanding the world.
