This book presents a multidisciplinary overview of a little known
interethnic conflict in the southernmost part of the Americas: the
tensions between the Mapuche indigenous people and the settlers of
European descent in the Araucania region, in southern Chile.
Politically autonomous during the colonial period, the Mapuche had
their land confiscated, their population decimated and the
survivors displaced and relocated as marginalized and poor peasants
by Chilean white settlers at the end of the nineteenth century,
when Araucania was transformed in a multi-ethnic region marked by
numerous tensions between the marginalized indigenous population
and the dominant Chileans of European descent. This contributed
volume presents a collection of papers which delve into some of the
intercultural dilemmas posed by these complex interethnic
relations. These papers were originally published in Spanish and
French and provide a sample of the research activities of the
Nucleo de Estudios Interetnicos e Interculturales (NEII) at the
Universidad Catolica de Temuco, in the capital of Araucania. The
NEII research center brings together scholars from different
fields: sociocultural anthropology, sociolinguistics,
ethno-literature, intercultural education, intercultural
philosophy, ethno-history and translation studies to produce
innovative research in intercultural and interethnic relations. The
chapters in this volume present a sample of this work, focusing on
three main topics: The ambivalence between the inclusion and
exclusion of indigenous peoples in processes of nation-building.
The challenges posed by the incorporation of intercultural
practices in the spheres of language, education and justice. The
limitations of a functional notion of interculturality based on
eurocentric thought and neoliberal economic rationality.
Intercultural Studies from Southern Chile: Theoretical and
Empirical Approaches will be of interest to anthropologists,
linguists, historians, philosophers, educators and a range of other
social scientists interested in intercultural and interethnic
studies.
