Lived Religion, Pentecostalism, and Social Activism in Authoritarian Chile
In Giving Life to the Faith, Joseph Florez offers an account of Pentecostal activism and the search for a new interpretation of Christian social responsibility during the extraordinary circumstances of everyday life during the Chilean dictatorship.
Chilean New Song and the Question of Culture in the Allende Government
Focusing on the cultural debate within the left during the Popular Unity government in Chile (1970-73), Chilean New Song and the Question of Culture in the Allende Government situates the discourses and artistic production linked to the Chilean New Song movement, in order to demonstrate that the musicians were part of the committed intelligentsia. Thus, they actively participated in the discussion and proposal of ways to integrate culture in the revolutionary process, playing an important political and cultural role. The analysis is mainly based on the government-friendly press and on records released between 1970 and 1973, verifying how the main trends observed in the cultural debate were expressed in the movement; the extent to which the positions defended by the musicians have been in tune with governmental purposes; and if they have in fact influenced the cultural policies debated and pursued by Popular Unity.
Beyond the Vanguard
For a thousand days in the early 1970s, Chileans experienced revolution not as a dream but as daily life. Alongside Salvador Allende’s attempt to democratically bring about a socialist regime, new understandings of the meaning of revolutionary change emerged. In her groundbreaking book Beyond the Vanguard, Marian E. Schlotterbeck explores popular politics in Chile in the decade before Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship and provides an in-depth account of how working-class people transformed the existing social order by embracing radical politics. Schlotterbeck eloquently examines the lost opportunities for creating a democratic revolution and the ways that the legacy of this period continues to resonate in Chile and beyond.

Nursing, Policy and Politics in Twentieth-century Chile
This book offers the first in-depth account of healthcare policy in Chile across the twentieth century. It charts how nursing and nurses intersected with the political context of healthcare, with a focus on the country’s transition across welfare systems. Drawing on extensive archival research and interviews with nurses and governmental representatives, this book explores how the nursing profession implemented and challenged reform, while policies had an impact on nurses. It analyses nurses’ employment and mobility, and their lobbying through the press and through unions. The authors demonstrate that while Chilean health policy was influenced by US cultural politics, reform depended on the flexibility and willingness of nurses to carry through reforms. By examining the participation of the largest female professional group, the book offers new insights into the privatization of society on the pinnacle of industrial development and seeks to contribute to contemporary debates on Chile’s welfare system. It is a vital read for scholars researching the history of public health.
Contrarrevolución, colaboracionismo y protesta
El golpe militar del 11 de septiembre de 1973 contra el gobierno de la Unidad Popular no fue producto exclusivo de la decisión de los altos mandos de las Fuerzas Armadas de destruir la democracia chilena. También fue posible gracias a un masivo movimiento contrarrevolucionario forjado en la lucha política contra la izquierda en el poder, en el que destacaron organizaciones sociales que se entendían a sí mismas y eran reconocidas como las representantes de la clase media. Este libro describe el camino seguido por esa clase media organizada —profesionales, transportistas, comerciantes, pequeños empresarios, masones, entre otros— desde su movilización contrarrevolucionaria, la colabo...

Uruguay in Transnational Perspective
Most of the world knows Uruguay only for its soccer team, or its vaunted title as the "Switzerland of South America," an enduring moniker given to the country for its earlier social welfare policies and relative stability. Even many scholarly narratives of Latin America fail to integrate the country into historical accounts, reducing the country to, as one historian has explained, "a periphery within the periphery that is Latin America." This volume challenges that characterization, taking one of the most innovative small states in the region and analyzing its transnational influence on the world. Uruguay in Transnational Perspective takes a broad look at the country’s three-hundred-year h...
La creación de la amenaza roja
La creación de la amenaza roja recorre el fenómeno del anticomunismo en Chile, desde sus primeras manifestaciones en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX hasta las elecciones de 1964. En ese amplio espectro temporal, el libro aporta dos tesis centrales e interrelacionadas. En primer lugar, el autor plantea que la elección presidencial de 1964 fue el momento de mayor proyección pública del anticomunismo en Chile. En segundo término, sostiene que el anticomunismo fue un elemento estructural del desarrollo político chileno en el siglo XX, en la medida que condicionó los términos del debate público e influyó visiblemente en el discurso político de una serie de fuerzas que, de diferentes modos, adhirieron a distintas variantes de esta polaridad ideológica.
Historia de Racismo y Discriminación en Chile
Huellas y pruebas son las palabras que mejor resumen los objetivos de este libro colectivo: descubrir huellas y demostrar con pruebas la existencia del racismo y la discriminación. El texto construido a través de historias que fluctúan entre la Colonia y el siglo XX, delinea claroscuros, perspectivas y texturas del racismo y la discriminación en la historia de Chile. En este texto se ha reunido un material invaluable que contempla desde políticas médicas y sexuales, exclusiones sociopolíticas y culturales, sujeciones y esclavitud, representaciones visuales, espaciales y discursivas hasta la creación de identidades y diferencias.
De la utopía al estallido
De la mano de historiadores, nacidos la mayoría en plena dictadura y formados en la academia nacional, el libro revisa en tres partes los hitos claves del “laboratorio” que ha sido Chile en estos últimos cincuenta años. La primera se centra en la Unidad Popular y su “vía chilena al socialismo”; el golpe de 1973 y la implantación del modelo autoritario con economía liberal; el papel de las iglesias en defensa de los derechos humanos; y se cierra con la implantación irregular de la Constitución de 1980. La segunda parte se ocupa del exilio, que afectó a miles de compatriotas; se presta atención a la juventud, la que más habría de sufrir la represión; se revisa la adaptaci...
