| Sumario: | Los indios montoneros. Un desierto rebelde para la nación Guanacache siglos XVIII-XX, by Diego Escolar, is a detailed effort to discuss the main historical narratives about the indigenous in Cuyo. Just as Guanacache was not always a hostile desert, but on the contrary the natural wetland of the San Juan River, the Indians of Guanacache were never docile or submissive. First towards the colonial regime, then towards the National State, Escolar's work documents numerous indigenous strategies to reclaim land and preserve memory.
In this review I will deal with some of the aspects addressed in the work, segmenting it into four parts: The decolonial without needing to be enunciated; The historical follow-up; The ethnopolitics of water and I will close by stating that it is a book tool. In these four sections I will summarize the strong contribution of the book for the historiography, ethnohistory and anthropologies of Cuyo. |
