Author Description

The critical situation of relations between the Mapuche people and the Chilean State has aroused various interpretations, in a debate in which the presence of the Mapuche themselves in the media remains scarce. Beyond the current situation, it seems necessary to pause to reflect on the issue of violence and its impact on the conflict. Specifically, we propose to analyze it in the context of the history of these relationships, especially after the occupation of La Araucanía in the second half of the 19th century.
