Description: Brown Bag Lunch: Dr. Barrientos will address the production of indigenous people's oral narratives during the transition to democracy in Chile in the 1990s and 2000s. Barrientos draws upon interviews conducted by anthropologists working with Chilean human rights NGOs and shows how they sought to reveal hidden or forgotten experiences of state violence in indigenous and peasant communities during the dictatorship.
