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. Building on widespread scholarly debates about identity, history and memory, Joanna Crow traces the complex relationship between the Mapuche and the Chilean state from the military occupation of Mapuche territory during the second half of the 19th century to the present day.
