Abstract
Este artículo examinámos el derrotero histórico del sindicalismo panificador mapuche durante el siglo XX en Santiago de Chile. Planteamos que esta forma de organización buscó resistir las implicancias laborales y racistas que debió enfrentar la migración mapuche en la ciudad. Con ello, situamos
al sindicalismo panificador como parte de la historia política y organizativa contra los múltiples efectos que dejó el colonialismo chileno; entre ellos, el desarraigo migratorio, los trabajos racializados y la discriminación, los cuales
también son analizados en este texto. Finalmente, argumentamos que desde las experiencias de los panificadores mapuche sindicalizados es posible trenzar la historia del movimiento obrero y la historia mapuche durante el siglo XX
This article examines the historical development of Mapuche trade unionism in the baking industry during the 20thcentury in Santiago, Chile. We contend that this form of organization sought to resist the racism and labor conditions that Mapuche migrants to the city had to confront. In addition, we situate bakery trade unionism in the context of the broader history of political and organizational resistance to the multiple effects of Chilean colonia-lism, including the alienation resulting from forced migration, racializedlabor regimes, and anti-indigenous discrimination, which are also analyzed in the present text. Finally, we argue that the experience of the unionized Mapuche bakers brings together in a single strand the history of the workers’ movement and the history of the Mapuche during the 20th century
