Las Que Van Quedando en el Camino (The Women Who Are Left by the Wayside)
This article examines a recently discovered oral history interview of a woman peasant (campesina), Emelina Sagredo, who was a leader of Chile's most important campesino uprising, the 1934 Ránquil rebellion. The article explores Sagredo's 1965 interview with the Chilean playwright Isidora Aguirre to raise questions about how to write the history of largely illiterate women, gender, and sexuality and the limits of both archival and published source…
Five Republics and One Tradition
Ruiz-Tagle’s Five Republics and One Tradition poses a conundrum for a historian reviewing it in a history journal (even a journal identified with interdisciplinary methodologies): Ruiz-Tagle is a leading legal scholar, and the book, despite its title, is not a work of history, not even legal history. Since it does not employ primary sources, it contains no original research. Nor does it engage with the considerable historiography of modern Chile,…
Introduction to Latin American Studies and the Humanities
This essay introduces the three essays in this collection, “Latin American Studies and the Humanities: One Year Later.” This collection follows our first dossier, “Latin American Studies and the Humanities: Past, Present, Future,” which was published in September 2018 ( https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.521 ). The essays here—all written by historians—address current questions in humanistic research in Latin American and ethnic/area studies, includin…
The Early History of Water Wars in Chile
This article examines an early water war in Chile between local agriculturalists and the North American-owned El Teniente copper mine. It recovers a hitherto unknown history of ecological degradation caused by industrial copper mining during the twentieth century in Chile. It argues that contemporary water wars in Chile, usually viewed as a product of the privatisation of water rights in 1981 and the expansion of foreign investment in the mining …
Introduction to Latin American Studies and the Humanities
This essay outlines the three articles in this dossier, “Latin American Studies and the Humanities: Past, Present, Future.” The authors, working in different disciplines, contribute to debates about how to reconceptualize area studies. Each article considers how area studies might be enriched by considering different spatial scales and incorporating methodologies drawn from ethnic studies disciplines. Our introduction explains how each essay cont…
Christopher R. Boyer. Political Landscapes
Christopher R. Boyer’s superb history of forests, forestry, and conservation in Mexico makes innovative contributions to the historiography of the Mexican Revolution and postrevolutionary state formation, as well as to Mexico’s environmental history. Based on exhaustive research in regional and national archives, most notably the archive of the forest service, Political Landscapes: Forests, Conservation, and Community in Mexico traces the dynamic…

La Frontera
In La Frontera, Thomas Miller Klubock offers a pioneering social and environmental history of southern Chile, exploring the origins of today's forestry "miracle" in Chile. Although Chile's forestry boom is often attributed to the free-market policies of the Pinochet dictatorship, La Frontera shows that forestry development began in the early twentieth century when Chilean governments turned to forestry science and plantations of the North America…
The nature of the frontier
Nacionales y gremialistas
Since the 17-year Pinochet dictatorship ended in 1989, Chile has been ruled by a coalition of the Christian Democratic Party (pDC) and the “renovated” or “reformed” Left of the Socialist Party (pS) and the Party for Democracy (pPD). This means that the Chilean Right has not won a presidential election since 1958. Yet despite the apparent electoral hegemony of the center-left for the last half century, the single most successful political party in…
Labor History and Public History
Labor history and public history have had a long relationship in the United States, as James Green argues in Taking History to Heart , dating back to Progressive-era historians like Mary Ritter and Charles A. Beard. Labor historians like Phillip Foner, who identified with the “Old Left,” made labor history public history through ties to labor organizations and the Communist Party. Then, during the 1960s, historians identified with the “New Left” …

The Politics of Forests and Forestry on Chile's Southern Frontier, 1880s-1940s
During the Chilean autumn of 2002, the Santiago newspaper El Mercurio published a two-page advertisement sponsored by logging companies listing hundreds of “acts of terrorism” allegedly committed by militant organizations of indigenous Mapuches.1 Aside from the transparent attempt to appropriate the discourse of the U.S. government’s “global war on terror,” the advertisement’s alarmist rhetoric invoked the many histories of peasant struggle again…
Class, Community, and Neoliberalism in Chile
History and Memory in Neoliberal Chile
Writing the History of Women and Gender in Twentieth-Century Chile
Three historical moments have, I believe, shaped the recent boom in historical literature on women and gender in modern Chile. First, the experience of the socialist Unidad Popular (UP) government of Salvador Allende has been critical in several ways. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Chile attracted scholars with a commitment to social reform, socialism, and the revolutionary projects of the 1960s. Histories of peasants and workers sought t…

In April of 1983, the Chilean copper miners'confederation (the Confederación de Trabajadores de Cobre, or CTC), representing 26,000 copper workers, called for a general strike in Chile's copper mines and for a day of national protest against the military regime of Augusto Pinochet
