Scholars of the Argentine Academia and others address the contemporary issues facing the native peoples of Pampa, Patagonia, and Tierra del Fuego as they struggle to maintain a sense of cultural difference. The regions and the people of the southern cone of South America have been identified as wild and at the edge of the world. The present compilation of research by scholars, many of whom are members of the Argentine Academia, effectively summarizes the struggle of the Mapuche, Tehuelche, Rankuelche and Selk'nam peoples for a continued sense of cultural identity distinct from the one of inferiority foisted upon them by the Spanish conquerors centuries ago. The native peoples of Pampa, Patagonia, and Tierra del Fuego on Argentina's southern cone are shown to be a dynamic people whose remarkable resilience and cultural survival has led them to a place in contemporary politics. Research exploring important current issues such as nationism and interethnic relations is included. Chapters address the seizure of Indian lands by the Spanish, selective policies of inclusion and exclusion, ethnocide and paternalism. The atrocities and injustices committed against these peoples reflect the experience of indigenous peoples all over the world. However, even in the face of adversity, the Mapuche Tehuelche, Rankuelche and Selk'nam peoples have maintained a sense of cultural difference, and they play a vital role in the culture and politics of the region.
