“…Borrowing Clifford's (1994) words, the appropriation of space and production of ethnic place by Mapuche associations is an important conduit for constructing 'home away from home' (p.302). As Valenzuela and Unzueta (2015) point out, for identity to persist through generations, even in environments perceived as alien, a sense of place is relevant. Thus, Mapuche associations in Santiago have gradually developed a sense of belonging in the city through the production of ethnic places.…”

Indigenising the city together: ethnic place production in Santiago de Chile

The article examines the process of space appropriation and resignification by Indigenous migrant groups in cities. As a result of the repeated use of an urban space over time for cultural activities perceived as emblematic of a common identity, Indigenous individuals confer meanings onto space based on a social construction of their homeland, collectively resignifying the space, and transforming it into what is presented as a symbolically-based "ethnic place". Building on the literature of place identity and original empirical information gathered through ethnographic fieldwork in Santiago de Chile, the article discusses three different paths followed by the Mapuche to gain spaces and produce their own ethnic places in the city, namely, institutional approach, illegal land occupation and symbolic space appropriation. By doing this, the Mapuche are giving new meanings to their identity while shaping the conception of belonging to what constitutes or not the current Indigenous territory.

“…Compared to France, Latin America adheres to slightly different societal norms with a wider range of ethnicities cohabiting. Valenzuela and Unzueta (2015) sought to examine the racial classification of Mapuche children in Chile. The researchers found a high rate of exogamous relationships along with high levels of inequality that mirror Brazilian society, which is a highly integrated society with an unevenly distributed economy directly affecting social status.…”

Various theories and models of evolutionary psychology posit that personality traits are part of adaptive strategies regulating behavioral adaptation to various environmental (ecological and/or social) conditions encountered during childhood.Life history theory provides the most comprehensive framework to understand how circumstances experienced in early life might influence personality. It proposes that personality traits develop into a certain profile depending on different conditional factors. Actual circumstances define resource allocation, that is, how the individual utilizes available resources (e.g., food, parental support, etc.) in order to maximize survival and/or reproduction. The most dominant environmental components to affect allocation strategies are level of mortality, level of stability or predictability of conditions, and level of heterogeneity of the trait in the local environment. Less favorable conditions (i.e., higher mortality rates and less parental investment) are suggested to form personality traits linked to more exploitative behavioral strategies with unrestrictive sexual behavior, whereas more advantageous circumstances proposedly shape rather prosocial behaviors and more restricted sexuality. Early childhood experiences (i.e., quality of caregiving, low socioeconomic status of the family) can be seen as indicators for such environmental factors which might also promote the development of personality profiles linked to certain life history strategies.

Establishing the Denominator: The Challenges of Measuring Multiracial, Hispanic, and Native American Populations

The norms for how multiracial, Hispanic, and Native American populations self-identify are less well established than for other population groups in the United States. There is considerable variation and fluidity in how these groups identify their race and ethnicity, as well as how they are classified by others. This presents challenges for estimating and analyzing these populations based on their self-identification alone. I argue that self-identification should be treated as a numerator, but the challenge is for researchers to establish the denominator-the population that could identify as members of the group based on their ancestry. Considering how many people who could identify with these groups choose to do so sheds light on assimilation and emerging racial classification processes. Analyses of the larger potential populations further avoid bias stemming from non-random patterns of self-identification with the groups.
