Researching Interculturality in Post-Colonial Contexts

Autor: Vander Tavares

Número de Páginas: 190

This volume critically explores intercultural "encounters" between Indigenous and Eurocentric education in the post-colonial contexts of Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. In this book, interculturality in education is considered in a variety of educational and social settings, including teacher, community, secondary, and higher education, as well as language revitalization efforts, from a wide range of analytical and methodological perspectives. The contributors examine historical and emerging challenges in initiatives to expand or redesign education through interculturality/ies, highlighting the work that remains on the educational agenda while also identifying obstacles perpetuated by ideologies of monoculturalism, neoliberalism, and capitalism. Several case studies are presented to showcase pedagogical creativity, curricular innovation, and epistemological plurality in intercultural education and research. The volume also includes two expert transcultural commentaries that approach the challenges and opportunities in a comparative way, drawing on Indigenous perspectives beyond the three countries studied. This book argues for a critical and decolonial engagement with interculturality...

Hawks of the Sun

Autor: Louis C. Faron

Número de Páginas: 237

Southern central Chile supports one of the largest functioning indigenous societies in South America, the Mapuche, who have withstood more than four hundred years of persistent efforts at colonization and missionization. In spite of inevitable cultural and social change during those years, they have maintained a great measure of cultural and social integrity, and remain a regional, ethically conscious minority in Chile. The Mapuche, in their own words, are "another race," with their own gods, their own notions of right and wrong, their own symbolism. Abiding by the rules of their society ensures their eternal place among the hawks of the sun.

Sanar con los ancestros

Autor: Gloria Liberman

Número de Páginas: 202

En 1986 Gloria Liberman tuvo la oportunidad de viajar a África y vivir en Mozambique por ocho años. Lo que le sucedió en ese país cambió totalmente su vida y la perspectiva para asumirla. Allí comenzó un proceso de autodescubrimiento que nunca terminó. Rescatar la sabiduría ancestral e incorporarla a lo actual no es tarea fácil, requiere entender el valor de lo antiguo y también de lo nuevo. Cuando salimos del pensamiento lineal, de la noción cerrada del bien y del mal, nos damos cuenta que todo puede ser y no ser al mismo tiempo, ya no hay más pre–juicios, se abre un espacio infinito, de lo uni–versal a lo multi–versal. Esa amplitud de pensamiento permite recibir y ver los milagros, aceptar el amor, vivir en todas las dimensiones posibles e imposibles, superar los programas limitantes. Las voces de los ancestros nos ayudan a recordar quiénes somos, de dónde venimos. Nos regalan la oportunidad de conocer y re–significar lo que ellos vivieron, para darle un nuevo rumbo a nuestra vida. Para ello es importante liberarse de todas las creencias y prejuicios que nos limitan, y usar el poder infinito de nuestra mente en la creación de realidades. La autora de este ...

Monuments, Empires, and Resistance

Autor: Tom D. Dillehay

Número de Páginas: 59

From AD 1550 to 1850, the Araucanian polity in southern Chile was a center of political resistance to the intruding Spanish empire. In this book, Tom D. Dillehay examines the resistance strategies of the Araucanians and how they used mound building and other sacred monuments to reorganize their political and culture life in order to unite against the Spanish. Drawing on anthropological research conducted over three decades, Dillehay focuses on the development of leadership, shamanism, ritual, and power relations. His study combines developments in social theory with the archaeological, ethnographic, and historical records. Both theoretically and empirically informed, this book is a fascinating account of the only indigenous ethnic group to successfully resist outsiders for more than three centuries and to flourish under these conditions.
