Abstract

JOUANNY, Miguel Leone. Between land rearrangement and historical claims: The process of conformation of Aboriginal Integral Law in Formosa. Trab. soc. [online]. 2015, n.25, pp.265-280. ISSN 1514-6871.

The promulgation of Aboriginal Integral Law in Formosa in 1984 opened a new time in the story of legal treatment about indigene in Argentina. This paper makes socio-historical analysis about the process of construction of that law, trying to understand not only the political content of this legal mechanism but also the nexus of political relationships in which the law approval has been inserted. The paper shows that this approval was linked to ways of organizations and mobilizations generated by indigenous communities of the province and links with religious activists. It is stated that the first governmental impulses towards legislate indigenous issues were not so related to an intention of recognizing rights, but to an administrative and bureaucratic approach towards a land rearrangement.

Keywords : Legal treatment about indigene; Formosa; Indigenous organization; Indigenous policy.
