What is it about?
This paper develops an analysis of Chilean’s Public Health Policy of Indigenous Peoples from a Latin-American critical medical anthropology standpoint. It shows how de-historization allows the production of horizontality imaginary in contexts of power asymmetry, fulfilling the ideological function to support intercultural health as an answer to the problem of health inequity, darkening the participation that this policy has in the process of the same inequity’s production.
