Tema(s): Nota de disertación: Tesis : (Master en Estudios Sociales).-- University of Regina, Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, 1992. Resumen: This thesis focuses its analysis on the historical conditions of the people from Easter Island and three other indigenous peoples in the Americas: Mapuche, BriBri and Canadian Indians. The analysis considers their political and Canadian Indians. The analysis considers their political and economic relations with the rest of the world. To this end, the precepts of the “dependency” theory are employed. The thesis documents a historical review of the four cases emphasizing their relation to the colonial expansion of the European powers and their situation under their modern governments. The thesis argues that the European expansion to the New World constituted not only a conquest and colonization process, but the economic expansion of emerging capitalism. This process created the modern capitalist world, divided into economic centers and dependent peripheries. Indian people are part of the periphery, whether or not they are included in First World nation-states. The analysis focuses on the conflicts, which have risen between Indian communal land tenure patterns and capitalist individual property. To this extent, the effects of the imposition of individual allotment on Easter Island is discussed, in comparison with similar experiences in the other three cases. The thesis asserts that the land tenure conflicts are an example of the incompatibility of capitalist and pre-capitalist forms. Furthermore, it is stated that the pre-capitalist formations are being transformed by the capitalist modes into dependent or peripheral modes, losing in this process their original autarkic character. Finally, the thesis concludes by discussing some possible future scenarios for Easter Island, either one in which or another where a consolidation of their communal mode can be achieved through the Rapanui’s political resistance to the individual property.
