Abstract

This is an interview with Dr. Jorge Pinto Rodríguez who has had a long career in university teaching and research. He stands out for his great contributions to regional history, in particular to our region of La Araucanía, Wallmapu. La formación del Estado y la nación, y el pueblo mapuche: de la inclusión a la exclusión [The formation of the State and the nation, and the Mapuche people: from inclusion to exclusion] is a required text to understand the complex and difficult history forged in these territories between those who were already there and those who arrived later; between ancestral traditions and modern institutions such as the State. Precisely, the conceptualization, history and current situation of the State in Chile and in our region, in an unprecedented context of drafting a new Constitution, invite us to this interview in "Three times".
