Sociedades indígenas y conocimiento antropológico. Aymaras y atacameños de los siglos XIX y XX

Abstract

We present an historical account of advance in anthropological research on the Aymara and Atacameño peoples of Northern Chile from the middle of the XIXth century to the present. This account is contextualized historically in tandem with the evolution of the discipline at the moments in which knowledge was generated. This study ends with an analysis of current knowledge of these peoples, pointing out progress, studies still lacking, and challenges for future investigation.
