Changos in the Port of Cobija. Social Transformations during the 19th Century
Keywords:
Changos, 19th century, industrial capitalism, port of Cobija.
Abstract
We analyze the historic development of maritime hunter-gatherers called Changos during the 19th century in the port of Cobija, region of Atacama, Chile. We consider the social, cultural and economic transformations linked to the birth of nation states in Latin America and the consequent local development of industrial capitalism on the desert coast. These transformations reveal a new coastal identity that maintained elements of Chango tradition, such as the use of seal leather rafts; however, it changed in the context of the creation of the first Bolivian port.Downloads
