From AD 1550 to 1850, the Araucanian polity in southern Chile was a center of political resistance to the intruding Spanish empire. In this 2007 book, Tom D. Dillehay examines the resistance strategies of the Araucanians and how they used mound building and other sacred monuments to reorganize their political and culture life in order to unite against the Spanish. Drawing on anthropological research conducted over three decades, Dillehay focuses on the development of leadership, shamanism, ritual, and power relations. His study combines developments in social theory with the archaeological, ethnographic, and historical records. Both theoretically and empirically informed, this book is a fascinating account of the only indigenous ethnic group to successfully resist outsiders for more than three centuries and to flourish under these conditions.

Esta obra busca comprender las construcciones de sentidos sociales del espacio denominado Araucanía-Norpatagonia. Y es importante destacar que los sentidos no son unívocos. En este caso, la pluralidad de lo territorial se intuye en las diferentes perspectivas de acercamiento, mostrando tanto la polisemia como las tensiones detrás de conceptos tales como espacio, frontera o representación.Para ello, los investigadores y cientistas sociales que escriben este volumen, asumen el debate centro-periferia entendiendo que la particular mirada desarrollada desde un territorio de integración tardía, como es la Patagonia tanto en Argentina como en Chile, construye una mirada epistemológica necesaria y singular.Así, la Patagonia adopta un carácter plural, las naciones se diversifican y los sentidos y prácticas de lo estatal se complejizan. Además, las territorialidades y las subjetividades forman parte de los desafíos que se abordan, reconociéndose como abiertos. This book seeks to understand the constructions of social senses of Araucanía-Norpatagonia. And it is important to emphasize that the senses are not univocal. In this case, the plurality of the territorial is intuited in the different perspectives of approach, showing both the polysemy and the tensions behind concepts such as space, frontier or representation. For this, the researchers and social scientists who write this volume, assume the center-periphery debate, understanding that the particular view developed from a territory of late integration, such as Patagonia in both Argentina and Chile, constructs a necessary and singular epistemological perspective. Thus, Patagonia adopts a plural nature, nations diversify and the senses and practices of the state become more complex. In addition, territorialities and subjectivities are part of the challenges that are addressed, recognizing themselves as open.
