Description
Este libro aborda, desde una perspectiva local y comparada, el despliegue del frente industrial capitalista sobre los territorios indígenas del Chaco y Amazonía a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. La industria mecanizada del caucho, del azúcar o del tanino supuso profundas transformaciones en territorios hasta entonces al margen de la agenda colonizadora y poblados por distintas comunidades indígenas que se articularon de diversos modos al trabajo en las industrias. Una misma serie de actores y de dispositivos (almacenes, conchavadores y pulperías; herramientas de metal, platos enlozados y armas; misioneros, militares y capataces, etc.) se despliega entonces sobre un espacio cultural y ecológicamente heterogéneo, organizando un paisaje intersticial y variopinto de formas y articulaciones locales. Los trabajos que componen este libro permiten complejizar y matizar, desde la antropología y desde la multiplicidad de voces que habilita, una temática hasta aquí generalmente abordada desde sus solas coordenadas históricas, económicas o nacionales.
