By reading Pedro Prado’s novel The Queen of Rapa Nui as a colonial and gender device, a deeper understanding of the relationship between the Chilean State and Rapanui people emerges. One may also understand how the imaginary of feminization and oceanic island construction is built. Such imaginary hides the conflictive historicity of the relationship, while revealing it in its own denial. This also becomes visible when the political and cultural contexts of the several publications of the novel and their cover images are put in relation with each other.
