Title The Mapuche of Puelmapu, an awakening nation in a changing state: Geographies of community, belonging, and nationhood for the Mapuche in Argentina
Summary In Argentina the Mapuche have in recent years undergone a process of social and cultural reconstruction, seeking to re-establish tradition and a collective identity vanished following the conquest of Patagonia in the late 19th century. This thesis analysizes 15 interviews and observations from short-term ethnography to investigate the current Mapuche social movement as a geography of kinship, a political identity formulated as strategic action within a changing society.
