Barbara's book Vergara Tapia shows a novel method of historiographical work that views the family as a basic unit of analysis. Not only is the individual characters but also analyzes the family as a collective group that, beyond being a private entity we know mostly for his roles on their business, their transactions, their social ties and their political leanings, press at the time and documents as the notary public, judicial and other authorities and the Chilean State Araucanía content in various funds and country files, which allow the authorities to register their work within the current trends in world historiography, ie move in his analysis from individual action to collective action. Also noteworthy is the analysis of transformation family from the economic point of view. Of its host city, where Smitmans Angol and were active in industrial, passed-without leaving Angol-to the town of Los Sauces, there took possession of indigenous lands through the purchase by public auction, that way they into large agricultural and livestock owners, similar process occurred elsewhere in Chile and Latin America. However, the process of forming a local elite in the case of this German family did not end with the construction of wealth or social prestige achieved in the area. The next step was the participation at local, regional and national as aldermen and deputies of the Republic. Thus, from 1869 to the thirties of the twentieth century, the family Smitmans in essence one of the most influential families in the Willows and surrounding areas.
Many other developments raised by this book, which can lead to future research and that in any case, oblige us to reflect on family relationships, daily life and privacy in the territory of Araucania in times of so-called "chilenization" or "denationalization" of its territory. Family Network and elite: The Smitmans. Angol-Los Sauces, 1870-1920 is an important book that is the result of a research thesis which will probably have to speak in the southern lands and, in particular, I am pleased to present.
