This particular book is a collaboration focused on Indigenous peoples in Argentina.More info: There are thirty-five indigenous groups in Argentina, or Argentine Amerindians, according to the Complementary Survey of the Indigenous Peoples of 2004, in the first attempt in more than a hundred years that the government tried to recognize and classify the population according to ethnicity. In the survey, based on self-identification or self-ascription, around 600,000 Argentines declared to be Amerindian or first-generation descendants of Amerindians, that is, nearly 2% of the population. The most populous of these were the Mapuche, Kolla, Wichi and Toba peoples. Nonetheless, in a recent genetic study conducted by the University of Buenos Aires, more than 56% of the 320 Argentines sampled were shown to have at least one Amerindian ancestor, of which 10% had Amerindian ancestors in both parental lineages. Indigenous cultures in Argentina have been affected by a process of invisibilization, promoted by the government since the second half of the 19th century. *Argentine people
