Translated by Edith Adams,Guerrilla Bloomsplaces the reader before the story of a woman, who along with her partner, participates in an ancestral war led by weichafe women like themselves. Love and warfare intertwine, creating a reality that interweaves territories, languages, and chronologies, collapsing time and space to draw an enmeshed lineage from the arrival of the conquistadors to ongoing state violence against the Mapuche people.
