- Winner of the 2021 Thomas McGann Book Prize from the Rocky Mountain Council for Latin American Studies For more than one hundred years, the Conquest of the Desert (1878-1885) has marked Argentina’s historical passage between eras, standing at the gateway to the nation’s “Golden Age” of progress, modernity, and-most contentiously-national whiteness and the “invisibilization” of Indigenous peoples. This traditional narrative has deeply influenced the ways in which many Argentines understand their nation’s history, its laws and policies, and its cultural heritage. As such, the Conquest has shaped debates about the role of Indigenous peoples within
Argentina in the past and present. The Conquest of the Desert brings together scholars from across disciplines to offer an interdisciplinary examination of the Conquest and its legacies. This collection explores issues of settler colonialism, Indigenous-state relations, genocide, borderlands, and Indigenous cultures and land rights through essays that reexamine one of Argentina’s most important historical periods.
Carolyne R. Larson is an associate professor of history at St. Norbert College and the author of Our Indigenous Ancestors: A Cultural History of Museums, Science, and Identity in Argentina, 1877-1943.
Thank you for awareness of the real narrative
Damn Europeans!
You are truly ignorant. Europeans acted no different than anybody else. just as the Aztecs walked all the way from Canada. Until they found people that were really tasty. Enslaved thousands and eat thousands.
the Bantu came down to South Africa from central Africa
murdered 2 million Khoekhoe and the San people and stole their land. and then again, you have that peace, Nick Genghis Khan. Before you open your mouth you might study some history
¡Marichiweu!
Very interesting
Bless you for your courage in telling the truth! Only the truth will protect the victims from continuing genocide!
All too true.
this is hard to watch.
How so
@@citrusblast4372 Oh I just didn't realise that there was such a massacre of indigenous people in Argentina.
@@cobsg938 It was a war, Tehuelches allied with the argentine army to fight the non-natives mapuches. This is "lecture" is just propaganda.
@@GeroG3N I didn’t know that thanks however it does sound strange considering these days there are close to no full blood tehuelches left but there are heaps of mapuches. No hate just having a thought.
@@cobsg938 In Argentina there are close to no full blood of anything because there was never any segregation, mixing was common.
The fact that there were natives allied to the Argentine army is very well documented, this lecture does not mention it because as I said, it is just propaganda.
In the conquest of the desert approximately 1000 indigenous people died. It's a lot, but not enough to produce a demographic change
