Eugene Berger provides a major corrective in the case of Chile, documenting how initial Mapuche-Spanish alliances were built and how they were destroyed by increasingly powerful slave-trading elites operating like organised crime families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThis Incurable Evil\u003c\/i\u003e examines a topic of great importance, yet one barely treated by scholars: the enslavement of Indigenous Chileans across a considerable stretch of the colonial period but centered on the seventeenth century. This rich and important book recovers and chronicles the ‘lost worlds’ of the Mapuche and their neighbors. The material is compelling, and the story is compellingly told.\"—Kris Lane, author of \u003ci\u003ePotosÍ: The Silver City That Changed the World\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038572413271,"sku":"9780817321581","price":83.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780817321581.jpg?v=1750940726","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/this-incurable-evil-9780817321581","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
