Summary / Abstract (Note)To understand the role of ethnicity in ethnic political mobilization when there are no clear-cut ethnic groups, it is valuable to analyze the construction and interaction of different modalities of ethnicity. In the process of ethnic political mobilization in the Mapuche conflict, one can observe the importance of ethnic images as activists reject the dominant negative image of the Mapuche and advocate a more positive image of the "true" Mapuche. This prototype of the "true" Mapuche, however, does not necessarily correspond to the reality in which many Mapuches live. This article analyzes the strategies of Mapuche activists to deal with this gap between the two ethnic modalities.
