Negotiating Inclusion in the Nation: Mapuche Intellectuals and the Chilean State

Abstract

This article examines the discourses of three Mapuche intellectuals–Manuel Manquilef, Manuel Aburto Panguilef and Venancio Coñuepán–all of whom played an important role in the creation and development of an indigenous rights movement in Chile. It emphasizes the diversity of Mapuche politics and intellectuality, mapping out the multiple ways in which Manquilef, Panguilef and Coñuepán confronted the state but also negotiated with it. Drawing on a wide range of material, including congress debates, newspapers and published writings, it explores the different ways in which they imagined and re-imagined indigenous identity, as part of their campaign to be treated as fully-fledged citizens of the Chilean nation.
