From AD 1550 to 1850, the Araucanian polity in southern Chile was a
center of political resistance to the intruding Spanish empire. In
this book, Tom D. Dillehay examines the resistance strategies of
the Araucanians and how they used mound building and other sacred
monuments to reorganize their political and culture life in order
to unite against the Spanish. Drawing on anthropological research
conducted over three decades, Dillehay focuses on the development
of leadership, shamanism, ritual, and power relations. His study
combines developments in social theory with the archaeological,
ethnographic, and historical records. Both theoretically and
empirically informed, this book is a fascinating account of the
only indigenous ethnic group to successfully resist outsiders for
more than three centuries and to flourish under these conditions.
