The Struggle for Democracy in Chile
This revised edition of The Struggle for Democracy in Chile should prove even more useful to the student of Latin American history and politics than the original. It updates important background information on the evolution of Chile?s military dictatorship in the 1970s and its erosion in the 1980s. Brian Loveman, an authority on contemporary Chilean politics, offers a comprehensive examination of the transition to civilian government in Chile from 1990 to 1994 in a substantial new chapter. Loveman chronicles the rise of the Concertaci¢n coalition, the strained relations between General Pinochet?s military and President Alwyn?s civilian government, and the roles of the National Women?s Service (SERNAM), the Catholic Church, and the indigenous peoples of Chile. All eleven essays by the leading authorities on the Pinochet regime from the earlier edition have been retained. The bibliography has been updated and the index improved. ø The Struggle for Democracy in Chile remains the first and foremost book on the transition over the last twenty-five years from dictatorship to democracy in Chile.

Republics of Knowledge
"Republics of Knowledge tells the story of how the circulation of knowledge shaped the formation of nation-states in Latin America, and particularly in Argentina, Peru and Chile, during the century after Iberian rule was defeated in the 1820s. Most immediately, the author has sought to provide a cross-disciplinary approach to the history of knowledge, combining the methods of global intellectual history with a new way of thinking about nations as experienced and enacted as well as how they are imagined, and in so doing offer a new interpretation of the history of independent Latin America to illustrate its wider significance in the making of the modern world. By bringing these lines of inqui...

En el nombre del padre
Víctor Díaz López nació en Ovalle el 10 de noviembre de 1919 y murió en una fecha escondida por sus asesinos… dicen que a comienzos de 1977. De su largo y cruel cautiverio en el cuartel Simón Bolívar de la DINA —un infierno desde el cual ningún prisionero salió con vida— solo pueden hablar ex agentes del Estado, entrenados para torturar, matar y mentir. Con todo, lo que narra el autor de esta acuciosa investigación es una historia de vida: la que transitó Víctor Díaz desde niño, quien pudo cursar hasta tercero de Preparatoria, obligado a trabajar para ganarse el pan de los suyos. Minero adolescente, obrero autodidacta, joven dirigente sindical en el Norte Grande, optó por una temprana militancia en el Partido Comunista. Fue una vida intensa, marcada por la larga clandestinidad en tiempos de la Ley Maldita y por la más riesgosa de los primeros años de dictadura, cuando estuvo a la cabeza de la dirección de su partido hasta ser secuestrado por la DINA el 12 de mayo de 1976.
