把任何意见分歧、承认模棱两可或替代策略作为“不真实性”的证据。可以理解的是,理查兹对向智利种族主义者提供这样的素材非常谨慎,有时这会损害她的分析。这凸显了智利人和马普切人之间的联盟可能是多么困难,因为智利社会距离承认自己的暴力,帝国历史还有多远。理查兹认为,为了承认马普切人的暴力掠夺,智利人必须重新考虑他们的身份,即白手起家的先驱者,以及无法控制的外国势力的受害者,包括殖民主义,跨国公司,以及那些想要煽动马普切人并谈论种族的模棱两可的人。这些身份如何在不同社会阶层的白色和混血智利人中重现,以及智利身份的后殖民方面,需要一本完全不同的书,其中像沃尔特·米尼奥洛的“边界思维”这样的概念可能比“新自由主义多元文化主义”更有用。理查兹福尔斯没有达到她的目标,“比赛”的智利奇迹,但她提出了重要的问题,持久的矛盾和虚假的智利身份及其影响的最贫穷的人。最值得注意的是,在经历了痛苦的镇压和剥夺历史之后,理查兹兑现了她的承诺,以马普切人和智利人之间和解的乐观理由结束。
strue any differences of opinion, admission of ambiguity, or alternative strategy as evidence of ‘‘inauthenticity.’’ Understandably, Richards is exceedingly wary of providing such fodder to Chilean racists, sometimes to the detriment of her analysis. This underscores how difficult alliances between Chileans and Mapuche might be, given how far Chilean society is from recognizing its own violent, imperial history. Richards suggests that, to recognize the violent dispossession of the Mapuche, Chileans would have to reconsider their identities as pioneers who built something out of nothing, and as victims of uncontrollable foreign forces, including colonialism, multinational companies, and ambiguous others who want to incite the Mapuche and talk about race. How these identities are reproduced across white and mestizo Chileans of different social classes, and the post-colonial aspects of Chilean identity, requires a whole other book, where concepts like Walter Mignolo’s ‘‘border thinking’’ may be more useful than ‘‘neoliberal multiculturalism.’’ Richards falls somewhat short of her goal to ‘‘race’’ the Chilean miracle, but she raises important questions about the endurance of contradictions and falsities in Chilean identity and their impacts on the poorest. Most remarkable of all, after a painful history of repression and dispossession, Richards delivers on her promise by ending with some grounds for optimism about reconciliation between the Mapuche and Chileans.
