| description |
In contrast to the propaganda legitimating the allocation of indigenous women, which spread stories of favored "little Indian women" benefiting from their captivity, we find in the sources stories of extreme need, begging, subjugation, as well as individual rebellions, successful and failed escapes, and at a larger scale, a fierce transgenerational fight to bring their people back together. Here, we analyze a suicide case and others of sexual abuse and exploitation. The main source is about a woman allocated at a private residence in Buenos Aires who committed suicide. By contrasting the aforementioned file with other documents, we learn about the exposure to abuse suffered by these indigenous women, the contradictory ideas around their motherhood in the public debate and among the promoters of these allocations, and the existence of brothels housing these recently allocated chinas in the downtown area of Buenos Aires city (República Argentina) in 1883. |

Contra la propaganda legitimadora sobre los repartos de mujeres indígenas -que hacía circular relatos de “indiecitas” favorecidas con su cautiverio- encontramos en las fuentes historias de necesidad extrema, mendicidad, sometimientos, o bien rebeldías particulares, huidas exitosas y frustradas y, en mayor escala, de lucha tenaz y trans-generacional por recomponer al propio pueblo. Nos detendremos a observar un caso de suicidio, y otros de abusos y explotación sexual. El expediente sobre el suicidio de una mujer colocadaen un domicilio particular en Buenos Aires constituye la fuente principal de este trabajo. El mencionado expediente, confrontado con otra documentación, permite analizar la exposición a abusos que padecían las indígenas, el lugar contradictorio que la maternidad de esas mujeres asumió en el debate público y entre los promotores de los repartos, y la existencia de prostíbulos de chinas recientemente repartidas en pleno centro de la ciudad de Buenos Aires (República Argentina) en 1883.
