The Walls of Santiago: Social Revolution and Political Aesthetics in Contemporary Chile
Allende: Cómo su historia ha sido relatada: Un ensayo de historiografía ampliada
José Del Pozo has provided a much-needed, well-crafted, and balanced interrogation of what has been researched, remembered, debated, and reimagined about Marxist president Salvador Allende in various fields of inquiry and creative production, including biography, literature, film, testimonials, and theater, in addition to historiography, since the 1973 coup. Over the book's eight pithy chapters, Del Pozo also develops a contextual landscape that …
Psychedelic Chile: Youth, Counterculture, and Politics on the Road to Socialism and Dictatorship
This book illuminates modern Chilean history with an unprecedented chronicle and reassessment of the sixties and seventies. During a period of tremendous political and social strife that saw the election of a Marxist president followed by the terror of a military coup in 1973, a youth-driven, transnationally connected counterculture smashed onto the scene. Contributing to a surging historiography of the era’s Latin American counterculture, Psyche…
Raymond B. Craib. The Cry of the Renegade: Politics and Poetry in Interwar Chile
Raymond B. Craib’s elegant introduction makes clear that The Cry of the Renegade: Politics and Poetry in Interwar Chile is not an exhaustive study of early twentieth-century Chilean politics, society, and culture. Rather, it is a species of microhistory that focuses on young poets, writers, and activists in Santiago whose lives changed abruptly during an eventful few months in 1920. While many actors come to the fore over the course of four robus…
Arriba quemando el sol. Estudios de historia social chilena: Experiencias populares de trabajo, revuelta y autonomía (1830-1940)
This collection of essays by young, up-and-coming Chilean historians — all in their 20s and 30s — shows rather clearly that Chilean historiography will be in competent and capable hands during the decades to come. An introduction by Luis Ossandón and engaging essays by Daniel Palma, Fernando Purcell, Rodrigo Henríquez, Cecilia Osorio, Alberto Harambour, Marcos Fernández, and José Iturriaga delve into specific episodes of Chile’s social history, u…
Revolución y liberación del ser: Apuntes sobre el origen e ideología de un movimiento contracultural esotérico durante el gobierno de Salvador Allende, 1970-19731
Cet article se propose d’analyser la formation y la trajectoire d’un mouvement ésotérique contre-culturel apparu au Chili pendant le gouvernement de Salvador Allende et l’Unité Populaire (1970-1973). Il s’intéresse au choc culturel qui s’est produit entre les pouvoirs politiques marxistes de la « voie chilienne vers le socialisme » qui défendirent le matérialisme dialectique et la lutte de classe, et un groupe de jeunes qui articulèrent un projet…
Siloísmo and the Self in Allende's Chile: Youth, "Total Revolution," and the Roots of the Humanist Movement
Silo’s “sermon on the mount,” as some later called it, took place high up in the Andes mountains near Mendoza, Argentina, at midday on May 4, 1969. Days earlier, Mendoza’s municipal officials, in accordance with the national government’s restriction of civil liberties, had denied a public meeting space within the city’s limits to Silo (the pseudonym used by the Mendocino Mario Luis Rodríguez Cobos) and his young followers. Rebuffed by Mendoza’s e…

Sowing “Seeds of Goodness” in Depression-Era Chile: Politics, the “Social Question,” and the Labor Ministry's Cultural Extension Department
A contributor to La Lei , the journalistic mouthpiece of Chile's reformist Radical Party, attended a peculiar cultural event on a mild spring evening in 1909 that evidently made quite an impression. Workers with their spouses and children, all donning their best suits and dresses, had gathered in one of the capital's dance halls to enjoy what the onlooker grasped as an evening of “aesthetic enjoyment without ostentation.” As the writer noted, “Fo…
