220115 Indigenous Peoples and (De-)Colonization (S) (WiSe 2019/2020)
Contents, comment
-
Latin America cannot be understood without an integral perspective on indigenous peoples. From the beginning of the process of colonization through the establishment of colonial rule to the independent republics the indigeneity was a crucial element to understand Latin American cultures, politics, and economics. In a critical perspective this course explores different conjunctures of colonization and de-colonization.
A special focus will be put on the history of the Mapuche peoples in Southern Chile and Argentina. Here we see unique process of resistance to colonial rule, as the Mapuche have never been conquered by the Spanish crown. In late 19th century the Chilean and Argentinean state finally submitted the Mapuche in a coordinated military campaign. Today the so-called Mapuche conflict remains to one of the main structural conflicts in the Southern part of Latin America. While the history of the Mapuche people serves as a central theme to explore dynamics of (de-)colonization, this analysis will also be completed by experiences of indigenous peoples in other parts of Latin American.
