2023 marks the fiftieth anniversary of General Pinochet's coup on September 11, 1973. During the wave of mass arrests, torture, and executions that followed, people began fleeing Chile. Over the next fifteen years some two hundred thousand Chileans sought exile in countries around the world. Out of their anguish and anger come these moving and powerful testimonies of their fractured lives--the first oral history of the Chilean diaspora, now revised and updated. Many who fled had been tortured, and they clung to the principle that the dictatorship was an evil that had to be destroyed. But their zeal and solidarity with other refugees often failed to sustain families. Many marriages collapsed, and children lost interest in their native land and culture. After civilian rule returned in 1990, many returning exiles felt estranged from a homeland forever changed. This timely update of the 1998 collection continues to remind us of the fracturing legacy and enduring oppression of usurpation and authoritarian rule long after its time has passed.

La Edad Media de Chile presenta un notable esfuerzo de recopilación histórica acerca de la fundación de la Iglesia Católica en el país. Aborda no solo la evolución de las primeras comunidades sino que aporta a la comprensión histórica, cultural y religiosa de una época. A través de hechos concretos, obras y tradiciones de este legado, este libro nos adentra en un cosmos de relaciones e intercambios marcados por el encuentro y la diversidad cultural entre ”“primero”“ los conquistadores y los pueblos indígenas. Luego, el proceso de fusión de la Conquista y la Colonia, para, finalmente, describir el rol de la Iglesia durante la formación de la República.
