Download or read book Patagonia written by Colin McEwan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some fourteen to ten thousand years ago, as ice-caps shrank and glaciers retreated, the first bands of hunter-gatherers began to colonize the continental extremity of South America--"the uttermost end of the earth." Their arrival marked the culmination of humankind's epic journey to people the globe. Now they are extinct. This book tells their story. The book describes how these intrepid nomads confronted a hostile climate every bit as forbidding as ice-age Europe as they penetrated and settled the wilds of Fuego-Patagonia. Much later, sixteenth-century European voyagers encountered their descendants: the Aünikenk (southern Tehuelche), Selk'nam (Ona), Yámana (Yahgan), and Kawashekar (Alacaluf), living, as the Europeans saw it, in a state of savagery. The first contacts led to tales of a race of giants and, ever since, Patagonia has exerted a special hold on the European imagination. Tragically, by the mid-twentieth century, the last remnants of the indigenous way of life had disappeared for ever. The essays in this volume trace a largely unwritten history of human adaptation, survival, and eventual extinction. Accompanied by 110 striking photographs, they are published to accompany a major exhibition on Fuego-Patagonia at the Museum of Mankind, London. The contributors are Gillian Beer, Luis Alberto Borrero, Anne Chapman, Chalmers M. Clapperton, Andrew P. Currant, Jean-Paul Duviols, Mateo Martinic B., Robert D. McCulloch, Colin McEwan, Francisco Mena L., Alfredo Prieto, Jorge Rabassa, and Michael Taussig. Originally published in 1998.

Download or read book El xodo gal s a la Patagonia written by Federico Mare and published by EDIUNC. This book was released on 2022-07-06 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quien vea un mapa de la Patagonia argentina, quizás sienta curiosidad por nombres como Madryn, Gaiman, Trelew o Trevelin. Palabras de una lengua con muy pocos hablantes y menos relación con la Patagonia, por lo menos hasta mediados del siglo XIX. La manera en que llegaron los habitantes de Gales al valle del río Chupat se relata en esta obra. Federico Mare se vale del ensayo literario para este libro de la colección Ida y vuelta de la Ediunc. Con un lenguaje claro y una narrativa sólida, expone las vicisitudes de los migrantes, sin escatimar en detalles sobre el contexto histórico en ambos extremos del océano Atlántico. Esto es, la pauperización de la Gran Bretaña victoriana, el lema de «gobernar es poblar», la cultura y religión galesas, la relación de los tehuelches con los galenses, entre otras. Se desentraña cómo el reverendo Michael D. Jones y los primeros colonos eligieron las tierras patagónicas para desarrollarse. Aparte, se añaden cinco anexos que ayudan a comprender mitos galeses –como proponer al idioma galés como la «lengua del paraíso»– y la historia de la ya famosa torta negra galesa, con un relato que provoca ganas de probar un pedazo de torta con un buen té galés.

Download or read book Patagonia a Forgotten Land written by C. A. Brebbia and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2006-11-23 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the history of Patagonia from its discovery by Magellan to recent times. Since its early exploration Patagonia has been associated with conditions of extreme hardship and suffering. Men and ships were lost in the dangerous waters of the Straits of Tierra del Fuego, giving rise to tales of mysterious cities populated by the shipwrecked sailors, survivors of the many failed expeditions. Early Spanish attempts to colonize Patagonia ended in failure and the region remained largely uninhabited until the arrival of the Welsh in 1865. Their peaceful coexistence with the natives ended abruptly when the Argentine Army entered Patagonia and took over the Indian lands, which were promptly distributed to new settlers. As a new frontier society, Patagonia could not fail to attract its share of desperadoes and adventurers, the most notorious of whom are described in the book, including gold prospectors, hunters and bandits such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The volume also narrates the anarchist’s struggles that took place in Patagonia at the beginning of the 1900s and the unsuccessful attempt by Perón’s government to convert Argentina into a nuclear power. In the early 1800’s the French traveller and explorer D’Orbigny said, " Perhaps there is no region within the world of which so much has been said, but so little is known." Patagonia is still a largely unknown and uninhabited place, but it does have a rich history as described in this book.

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes excerpts of contemporary accounts *Includes a bibliography for further reading Patagonia is in the southernmost region of South America, comprising about 400,000 square miles going from the Colorado River in the north to the Tierra del Fuego archipelago in the south. Longitudinally, it covers the whole continental soil, going from the Atlantic shore to the Pacific's waters, including a few islands near the coast, part of the South American plate. The name, "Patagonia" comes from an observation made by Ferdinand Magellan, who visited the region during his historic expedition around the world. Marveled by the height of the indigenous people, he referred to the region as a "land of giants." Those giants were the Tehuelches, named by Magellan's expedition as Patagones, and the chronicles of that trip, written by Antonio Pigafetta, popularized the term "Patagones," a term that refers to their big feet (in Spanish, "patones" means "of big feet"). This description would later derive in the name Patagonia. From its discovery until the 20th century, the borders of Patagonia as well as those elements that define it as such have gone through several changes and names. The main thing for understanding its limits during the Spanish conquest is that Patagonia referred to the land south of the European area of influence. Back then, Patagonia was under control of indigenous inhabitants and, as such, outside European control or only partly influenced. It is no wonder, then, that the earliest limit was the Río de la Plata itself, where in 1536 (and again in 1580) the city of Buenos Aires was founded. Later on, the conquest of the territory, along with the work of cartographers from around the world, gave shape to the region.Today, the Patagonian region is politically separated between two countries, Argentina and Chile, as well as by the United Kingdom which controls the Falkland/Malvinas Islands' archipelago. There is also a division made between its two regions: the Cordillera and the steppe (or as it was historically called, "the desert"). The natural boundary between Chile and Argentina is the mountain range of Cordillera de Los Andes. As a whole, Patagonia has a low population density of only 2.2 inhabitants per square kilometer, and only five percent of the Argentine population resides in Patagonia, with the giant province of Santa Cruz having only 1.4 inhabitants per square kilometer. Some places in Patagonia are among the lowest in population density in the world, such as the Falkland Islands, with a density as low as just 0.3 inhabitants per square kilometer. The Patagonian inhabitants are mostly of European origin, but there are still a large number of aborigines. Topologically speaking, the Chilean region is extremely rugged, like no other place in the world. It is heavily compromised by the mountain range of the Andes, part of the American Cordillera which holds the highest volcanoes in the world. The volcanic activity of the Andes is still active today, with eruptions such as the Calbuco volcano (Los Lagos region) in 2015. South from the Corcovado Gulf, Chilean Patagonia is populated by so-called fjords, narrow sea entrances that navigate the high volcanic coasts. In this sense, the geography of Chilean Patagonia resembles the coasts of Norway or the British Columbia Coast in Canada. Vegetation also varies from west to east. On the Andean side, it is dense, while it is scarce on the side of the steppe, hence the "desert" nickname that the European conquerors and criollos had for it. Patagonia: The History of the Southernmost Region in South America looks at the long and winding history of the area, from its people to its geology and wildlife. Along with pictures and a bibliography, you will learn about Patagonia like never before.
