• Resumen

  • While the struggles of Indigenous peoples are intensifed by their historically vulnerable position, Aranda reveals that these challenges resonate with the wider population, making it impossible to view Indigenous communities as mere "others." While Indigenous communities are often the frst victims, Aranda highlights that this model exploits the environment, weakens the social fabric, and erodes democracy for all Argentineans, regardless of background, in the pursuit of economic growth. [...]modern Argentine society is said to be the outcome of a European "melting pot," in which the Indigenous component is absent. [...]Aranda employs various narrative strategies to frmly establish genocide as the foundational event of Argentina, with profound implications for both the treatment of Indigenous peoples and the current state of the country.
