Abstract:This study analyses the ethnic identification of children of mixed among the Mapuche ethnic group in Chile using census data. The Mapuche are characterized by high exogamy, providing an extreme case of the Latin American pattern of tolerance towards intermarriage. We find that ethnic identification of children of mixed couples is high although it tends to weaken outside the native homeland. Furthermore, education does not increase the classification of children of mixed couples outside the mixed group. These findings contravene not only the Brazilian pattern of whitening but also predictions by assimilation theories, and suggest a process of indigenous awareness for families outside the native homeland. 摘要:本研究应用人口普查数据分析了在智利的马普彻族群混血儿的族群认同。马普切具有较高的异族通婚率,这提供了拉丁美洲宽容对待异族通婚模式的一个极端例子。我们发现异族婚姻夫妇的儿童的种族身份认同是很高的,虽然它在本土家乡以外往往会趋向减弱。此外,教育程度不影响异族婚姻组以外的异族婚姻夫妇儿童的归类。这些发现不仅与白人化的巴西模式相悖,也与同化理论所预测的不符,提示了一种移居本土外家庭的本土意识过程。 Keywords: Mapuche, Latin America, ethnic identification, exogamy, transmission of ethnicity, indigenous ethnicity 关键字: 马普彻人,拉丁美洲, 族群身份, 异族通婚, 族群转移,本土族群 作者:Eduardo Valenzuela and M.
