Chile: The Making of a Republic, 1830-1865
Chile enjoyed unique prestige among the Spanish American republics of the nineteenth century for its stable and increasingly liberal political tradition. How did this unusual story unfold? The tradition was forged in serious and occasionally violent conflicts between the dominant Conservative Party, which governed in an often authoritarian manner from 1830 to 1858, and the growing forces of political Liberalism. A major political realignment in 1857-8 paved the way for comprehensive liberalization. This book examines the formative period of the republic's history and combines an analysis of the ideas and assumptions of the Chilean political class with a narrative of the political process from the consolidation of the Conservative regime in the 1830s, to the beginnings of liberalization in the early 1860s. The book is based on a comprehensive survey of the writings and speeches of politicians and the often rumbustious Chilean press of the period.
The Other Mirror
If social science's "cultural turn" has taught us anything, it is that knowledge is constrained by the time and place in which it is produced. In response, scholars have begun to reassess social theory from the standpoints of groups and places outside of the European context upon which most grand theory is based.

They seek to deepen our understanding of Latin America and the problems it faces. And, by testing social science paradigms against a broader variety of cases, they pursue a better and truly generalizable map o...

Memorias de una generación privilegiada
El recuerdo, según la Real Academia Española, es hacer memoria de algo que ya pasó. Y eso es, precisamente, lo que sus autores hacen en este libro. Hacen memoria y la comparten para que podamos conocer y otros revivir lo que fue y significó para nuestro país el Instituto Pedagógico de la Universidad de Chile, de calle Macul 774. Sus autores, con notas, anécdotas y vivencias empiezan a plasmar la vida universitaria de los años 1956-1960, pero mientras avanzan en la escritura comprenden que deben ir más allá, deben dejar estampados los cambios habidos en el sistema educacional en Chile. Hacen un paralelo de lo que le significó al país poder entregar una educación gratuita, sin...
