Indigenous Settlers of the Galapagos - Conservation Law, Race, and Society (Hardcover)

In Indigenous Settlers of the Galapagos: Conservation Law, Race, and Society, Pilar Sanchez Voelkl offers an anthropological and historical account about the early arrival and prominent presence of Andean Indigenous people in the Galapagos Islands. Her research traces the stories of the earliest colonizers, who permanently settled on the archipelago, from the 1860s onwards. Sanchez Voelkl argues that their journey illustrates the way multiple notions of nature, race, and society interact to shape a social order in Darwin's archipelago. Contrary to common portraits of the islands as an example of untouched nature, Indigenous Settlers of the Galapagos provides compelling evidence about the complexities about human and non-human relationships.
