The Mapuche are the most numerous, most vocal and most politically
involved indigenous people in modern Chile. Their ongoing struggles
against oppression have led to increasing national and
international visibility, but few books provide deep historical
perspective on their engagement with contemporary political
developments. Building on widespread scholarly debates about
identity, history and memory, Joanna Crow traces the complex,
dynamic relationship between the Mapuche and the Chilean state from
the military occupation of Mapuche territory during the second half
of the nineteenth century through to the present day. She maps out
key shifts in this relationship as well as the intriguing
continuities. Presenting the Mapuche as more than mere victims,
this book seeks to better understand the lived experiences of
Mapuche people in all their diversity. Drawing upon a wide range of
primary documents, including published literary and academic texts,
Mapuche testimonies, art and music, newspapers, and parliamentary
debates, Crow gives voice to political activists from both the left
and the right. She also highlights the growing urban Mapuche
population. Crow's focus on cultural and intellectual production
allows her to lead the reader far beyond the standard narrative of
repression and resistance, revealing just how contested Mapuche and
Chilean histories are. This ambitious and revisionist work provides
fresh information and perspectives that will change how we view
indigenous-state relations in Chile.
