Sentient Lands
Book • 2018
Sentient Lands examines how indigenous peoples in Chile relate to land through cultural, political, and legal frameworks, arguing that land is experienced as a sentient entity shaping social and political life.
Di Giminiani explores land claims and the intersections of property regimes with indigenous cosmologies amid neoliberal transformations.
Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, the book highlights how claims over territory are entangled with struggles over recognition, belonging, and future-making.
It situates indigenous struggles within broader processes of democratization and market reforms, showing how land politics reconfigure citizenship and social relations.
The work contributes to debates on indigeneity, sovereignty, and reparative politics in Latin America.
