Description
En este trabajo intentaremos responder a cuatro interrogantes: ¿Qué registros existen de las epidemias que asolaron Pampa, Patagonia y Tierra del Fuego desde la Conquista y Colonización hasta la primera década del siglo XX? ¿Cuáles fueron los comportamientos adoptados para mitigar las pestes? ¿Qué vectores las causaron y facilitaron? ¿Qué factores contribuyeron a su diseminación? ¿Qué efectos tuvo en la demografía? Hemos realizado una revisión no exhaustiva de los testimonios disponibles con el objetivo de transformarlos en fuentes de conocimiento histórico acerca del impacto de las emergencias sanitarias en los pueblos originarios.
In this work we will try to answer four questions: What records exist of the epidemics that ravaged Pampa, Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego from the Conquest and Colonization to the first decade of the 20th century? What were the behaviors adopted to mitigate the pests? What vectors caused and facilitated them? What factors contributed to its spread? What effects did it have on demographics? We have carried out a non-exhaustive review of the available testimonies with the aim of transforming them into sources of historical knowledge about the impact of health emergencies on indigenous peoples.
