Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern central Chile supports one of the largest functioning indigenous societies in South America, the Mapuche, who have withstood more than four hundred years of persistent efforts at colonization and missionization. In spite of inevitable cultural and social change during those years, they have maintained a great measure of cultural and social integrity, and remain a regional, ethically conscious minority in Chile. The Mapuche, in their own words, are "another race," with their own gods, their own notions of right and wrong, their own symbolism. Abiding by the rules of their society ensures their eternal place among the hawks of the sun.

Download or read book Language of the Land written by Leslie Ray and published by IWGIA. This book was released on 2007 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in English to examine the contemporary Mapuche: their culture, their struggle for autonomy within the modern-day nation state, their religion, language, and distinct identity. Leslie Ray looks back over the history of relations between the Mapuche and the Argentine and Chilean states, and examines issues of ethnicity, biodiversity, and bio-piracy in Mapuche lands today, their struggle for rights over natural resources, and the impact of tourism and neoliberalism. The Mapuche of what is today southern Chile and Argentina were the first and only indigenous peoples on the continent to have their sovereignty legally recognized by the Spanish empire, and their reputation for ferocity and bravery was legendary among the Spanish invaders. Their sense of communal identity and personal courage has forged among the Mapuche a strong instinct for self-preservation over the centuries. Today their struggle continues: neither Chile nor Argentina specifically recognize the rights of indigenous peoples. In recent years disputes over land rights, particularly in Chile, have provoked fierce protests from the Mapuche. In both countries, policies of assimilation have had a disastrous effect on the Mapuche language and cultural integrity. Even so, in recent years the Mapuche have managed a remarkable cultural and political resurgence, in part through a tenacious defense of their ancestral lands and natural resources against marauding multinationals, which has catapulted them to regional and international attention. Leslie Ray has been a freelance translator since the mid 1980s. He has translated a number of books from Italian and Spanish in the fields of architecture, design, and art history. A regular visitor to Argentina since the late eighties, he has worked actively with Mapuche organizations there since the late 1990s. In addition to his work on the Mapuche, he has also published articles on Argentine social, indigenous, and language-related issues for publications as diverse as History Today and The Linguist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnus Course blends convincing historical analysis with sophisticated contemporary theory in this superb ethnography of the Mapuche people of southern Chile. Based on many years of ethnographic fieldwork, Becoming Mapuche takes readers to the indigenous reserves where many Mapuche have been forced to live since the beginning of the twentieth century. In addition to accounts of the intimacies of everyday kinship and friendship, Course also offers the first complete ethnographic analyses of the major social events of contemporary rural Mapuche life--eluwün funerals, the ritual sport of palin, and the great ngillatun fertility ritual. The volume includes a glossary of terms in Mapudungun.

Download or read book The Mapuche in Modern Chile written by Joanna Crow and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2013-01-20 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing upon theoretical propositions of decolonial thought and using an adapted institutional ethnographic approach as a method of inquiry, this dissertation investigates the social organization of intercultural education in the Chilean context. By exploring everyday life accounts of Mapuche educators who work in the primary school system teaching the Mapudungun language subject, this study set out to unveil the institutional relations mediating their lived experience in the context of their jobs. By extensively and critically analyzing institutional policies and practices that organize Mapuche educators’ work, and by considering the historical and socio-political circumstances in which these have been produced, this study revealed the institutional relations and ideological discourses that (a) position the Mapuche language subject as marginal in the Chilean school curriculum in comparison to the rest of school subjects, (b) sustain the continuity of particular imaginaries around Mapuche work, and (c) enable the production of precarious material conditions that put Mapuche educators at a disadvantage compared to other educators of the Chilean school system. The current work reveals that the current institutional order that socially organizes intercultural education sustains—and is sustained by—modern/colonial structures stemming from Spanish colonization that have been reinforced throughout a history of over five centuries. By filling a gap in the scholarly work on intercultural education in the Chilean context, the study presented here contributes to expand our understanding of the ways in which intercultural education is socially organized. As such, this doctoral dissertation makes valuable information available that could potentially be used to put pressure on Chilean authorities to change the current institutional policies and practices that enable the subalternization of Mapuche knowledge, subjectivities and material conditions"--

This book was released on 2012 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on processes of identity formation of indigenous Mapuche women, especially those who are not involved in the land vindication struggle with the Chilean state. Recent research on these processes argues that the political domination of the land vindication struggle has reinforced patriarchal features of Mapuche social structures, limiting Mapuche women's ability to determine their feminist subjectivities. Grounded in a post-structural feminist perspective, this thesis analyses how aspects of gender, class, ethnicity, and age intersect to shape Mapuche women's identities as women and as Mapuche by determining role-performing linked to their everyday activities. The aim of the study is to illustrate that female identity might be constructed in various ways, even through structures that can appear as patriarchal to western feminist understandings. Mapuche women's identities are shaped on a daily basis based on their underprivileged social position within Chilean society and strict behavioural codes of Mapuche collectives. Nevertheless, Mapuche women have found ways to overcome the difficulties they are faced with, in order to define themselves as women and as Mapuche, evidencing the need to work with inclusive notions of feminism.

Download or read book A Grammar of Mapuche written by Ineke Smeets and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-12-10 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapuche is the language of the Mapuche (or Araucanians), the native inhabitants of central Chile. The Mapuche language, also called Mapudungu, is spoken by about 400,000 people in Chile and 40,000 in Argentina. The Mapuche people, estimated at about one million, constitute the majority of the Chilean indigenous population. The history of the Mapuche is the story of passionate fighters who managed to stop the Inca's but succumbed to the Spanish invaders after two and a half century of warfare. The relationship of the Mapuche language with other Amerindian languages has not yet been established. Mapuche is a highly agglutinative language with a complex verbal morphology. This book offers a comprehensive and detailed description of the Mapuche language. It contains a grammar (phonology, morphology and syntax), a collection of texts (stories, conversations and songs) with morphological analyses and free translations, and a Mapuche-English dictionary with a large number of derivations and examples. The grammar is preceded by a socio-historical sketch of the Mapuche people and a brief discussion of previous studies of the Mapuche language. The material for the description was collected by the author with the help of five Mapuche speakers with attention to the dialectal differences between them. The abundance of thoroughly analysed examples makes for a lively decription of the language. The intricacy of the verbal morphology will arouse the interest not only of those who practice Amerindian linguistics but also of those who are interested in language theory and language typology.
