Sumario:In Argentina, indigenous peoples, especially in urban areas, have historically been marginalized due to various causes. The country's hegemonic historical narrative has excluded indigenous communities, thereby marginalizing their cultures and languages. Socioeconomic inequalities have led to indigenous populations living in poorer conditions while census data has misrepresented their reality perpetuating their invisibility. In the Province of Chaco, processes of extermination, expulsion, and displacement shaped these causes, which, in turn, were intensified by the desert conquest campaigns and the consolidation of the National State during the 1930s. During these periods, the Central Region of Chaco became a site of militarization and territorial exploitation, excluding indigenous communities and establishing unequal social and economic hierarchies in the cities that emerged there afterwards. This study explores spatial violence within Qom communities, understood as a historical and systematic practice of dispossession and territorial control.
