Summary:

This book examines the conquest of the Gran Chaco region of Argentina in the early 20th century, focusing on conflicts between indigenous Guaycurú peoples and criollo settlers. It analyzes the military occupation, pioneer settlement, and impacts on indigenous communities, centering on two major conflicts in 1916 and 1923-1924. The author explores themes of genocide, biopolitics, and the construction of the indigenous "other" in relation to nation-building. Drawing on archival sources, the work reconstructs the process of territorial occupation and indigenous resistance in the western Chaco frontier zone.
