Tierra Del Fuego
This fictional retelling of the true tragedy of Jemmy Buttons, a young Yamana Indian from Argentina who was kidnapped from his family and brought by Captain Fitzroy to England, is told by an observer who gradually realizes how different he and Jemmy Buttons are from one another, though the narrator himself is also part Argentinean. The novel probes questions of identity and otherness, while critiquing European imperialist power and attitudes.
