The Mapuche people are an indigenous group who have inhabited the territory that is now Chile for centuries. In the 19th century, the Mapuche fought a series of wars against the Chilean state in an effort to maintain their independence. These wars had a profound impact on both the Mapuche people and the Chilean state. In this book, I explore the complex relationship between the Mapuche and the Chilean state during the 19th century. I examine the ways in which the Mapuche resisted Chilean encroachment on their lands and the Chilean state's efforts to incorporate them into the nation. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including archival documents, oral histories, and ethnographic accounts, I provide a nuanced understanding of the Mapuche struggle for autonomy and the impact of their resistance on the development of the Chilean state.
