Blog Post 5: ¿Who do I admire?

In the short time I have been studying anthropology in the University of Chile, there has been an author that has caught my special attention. I'm talking about the anthropologist Sonia Montecinos. In the first semester, we had to read her, very probably, best known anthropological work, wih was entitled "Madres y Wachos". 

This written was significant to confirm my liking for the career. This is because one of the reasons why I entered anthropology was because of how interesting and important I considered studying indigenous things to understand our origin. And well, as you can assume, Sonia exposes the real identity of all Chileans, who are a mix between murderous colonizers and rapists and abused indigenous people. This made me want to delve deeper into this topic, to spread the importance of knowing our bloody past.
