- Title

- Abstract
Focusing on the categories of class and nation, explores the origin of a particular expression of group identity, known in Chile as "identidad pampina," based in and around the nitrate fields of the Atacama Desert. The arrival of numerous Chilean migrant workers in the decades preceding and following the outbreak of the 1879 War of the Pacific slowly gave rise to a very characteristic form of working-class culture that combined strong feelings of both class and nation. The complex interplay of these emotions is traced through different moments and experiences, highlighting the often contradictory forces through which a community acquires and builds a sense of collective belonging.
