Indigenous Settlers of the Gal疳agos: Conservation Law, Race, and Society (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781666906592)

In Indigenous Settlers of the Gal疳agos: Conservation Law, Race, and Society, Pilar S疣chez Voelkl offers an anthropological and historical account about the early arrival and prominent presence of Andean Indigenous people in the Gal疳agos Islands. Her research traces the stories of the earliest colonizers, who permanently settled on the archipelago, from the 1860s onwards. S疣chez Voelkl argues that their journey illustrates the way multiple notions of nature, race, and society interact to shape a social order in Darwin's archipelago. Contrary to common portraits of the islands as an example of untouched nature, Indigenous Settlers of the Gal疳agos provides compelling evidence about the complexities about human and non-human relationships.
