"Luis E. Carcamo-Huechante provides a radical critique of how to study indigeneity, sound, and their relation to literary and media history. With an approach that draws on Native American and Indigenous scholars from the North and South, he demonstrates the need to consider Indigenous scholarship as central to the interpretation of sound and voices in a settler colonial context while offering transformational readings of the Mapuche literary and mediascape. Acoustic Colonialism is a crucial book." - Ana Maria Ochoa Gautier, author of Aurality: Listening and Knowledge in Nineteenth-Century Colombia
