Freeing Chinese Men on the María Luz
This essay analyzes a Japanese court’s criminal conviction of a Peruvian shipmaster for abusing Chinese contract workers and the subsequent release of all Chinese passengers except a lone girl. Using the case as a lens onto gender dynamics within the coolie trade to Latin America, I argue that overlapping patriarchal practices made Chinese contract labor overwhelming male and prioritized men in debates over freedom. The María Luz trials upheld wo…
Contesting Chinese Contract Labor
In 1874, government officials in Qing China sent a Yale-educated special envoy named Yung Wing to Peru to survey the conditions of Chinese contract workers on plantations. A parallel mission to the better-known Qing survey of Chinese in Cuba, Yung Wing's trip to Peru has received almost no scholarly attention. Drawing on new archival evidence, this essay provides a historical analysis of the Qing mission to Peru and its official findings, as rend…

The Gathering Storm
It is fitting that in 2020, a year of great anxiety in the United States about Russian and Chinese interference in the US presidential race and the possibility of a coup by supporters of Donald Trump, a fine book of Chilean history should appear to thoroughly document the United States' long history of intervention in Chile's elections throughout the 1960s as well as the plots of many venerable Chilean politicians to use constitutional (and extra…

Narrating Chinese Massacre in the South American War of the Pacific
This essay explores competing and overlapping narratives about massacres of Chinese men by African-descended Peruvians during the War of the Pacific (1879–84), a conflict during which Chile invaded and occupied Peru. Reports of brutal killings of Chinese merchants in Lima circulated alongside stories about the massacre of over a thousand Chinese contract workers on plantations in the province of Cañete. Descriptions of brutal acts by black people…
Patrick Barr-Melej. Psychedelic Chile
Hippies don’t necessarily make good Marxists, and Marxists are certainly not always hippies. As Patrick Barr-Melej’s wonderfully lively and illuminating cultural history of Chile during the late 1960s and early 1970s makes clear, the ideals and aesthetics of the “Age of Aquarius” often collided with those of the “Age of Allende.” Psychedelic Chile: Youth, Counterculture, and Politics on the Road to Socialism and Dictatorship traces various counte…
Rebel Coolies, Citizen Warriors, and Sworn Brothers
This essay interprets Chilean accounts of a loyalty oath by Chinese coolies to the Chilean army during the War of the Pacific against a broader social history of Chinese agrarian resistance in Peru and military experience in China. The essay argues that masculinity and labor were central to articulating divergent political agendas and defining national differences as racial differences. Chilean tales about emancipating Chinese slaves affirmed Chi…
Edward Murphy. For a Proper Home
Edward Murphy renders a smart and well-written history of the politics of urban housing in Chile, primarily the capital city of Santiago. For a Proper Home: Housing Rights in the Margins of Urban Chile, 1960–2010 focuses on the interaction of social movements for improved housing and government responses to those pressures during and after the Cold War. Yet the arch of Murphy’s argument spans the entire twentieth century. An excellent first chapt…
Strangers on Familiar Soil
This ambitious, fascinating, and highly readable book traces the interlocking histories of Chile and California over the longue durée of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Admirably bridging American studies with Latin American studies, Edward Dallam Melillo frames his transnational study in terms of a Pacific world paradigm that considers how “the aquatic corridor between Chile and California was both a real and imagined space of connection…
Struggles in the Countryside
This essay looks at rising conflicts between women and men that accompanied Chile's tumultuous and extensive agrarian reform between 1964 and 1973. It goes on to examine rural women's proletarianization as fruit workers under military dictatorship. The essay argues that during the agrarian reform peasant women supported the overall goals of redistributing land and improving rural wages, but their expectations were often bitterly disappointed by t…
Buying into the Regime
Buying into the Regime is a transnational history of how Chilean grapes created new forms of consumption and labor politics in both the United States and Chile. After seizing power in 1973, Augusto Pinochet embraced neoliberalism, transforming Chile's economy. The country became the world's leading grape exporter. Heidi Tinsman traces the rise of Chile's fruit industry, examining how income from grape production enabled fruit workers, many of who…
The Politics of Motherhood
The Politics of Motherhood is a fascinating discussion of maternal health care and birth control in Chile. Although the book’s title and introductory chapter lead the reader to expect a broad history of competing visions of motherhood, at its heart and at its best this book is a fine study of medical and public policy debates over maternal reproduction. It bravely spans the whole of the twentieth century, from early debates in the 1920s over “unf…

Gender, Sexuality, and Power in Latin America since Independence
This is a terrific collection of new scholarship on sexuality and gender in Latin America. While there are now numerous edited volumes on these topics, Gender, Sexuality, and Power in Latin America since Independence stands out both for its extremely useful introduction and the truly new directions taken by the essays of the contributing scholars. In fact, my main complaint might be that such a strong book deserved a less generic title.Editors Wi…

A Paradigm of Our Own
defensive. Area studies still invokes hierarchies suggesting that feminist paradigms, in particular, begin in European and U.S. American studies and trickle down to the rest of us. Such notions are bolstered by intellectual genealogies exactly like my own. Trained as a historian in the 1980s and early 1990s, I first encountered women's history in undergraduate classes with Europeanist Natalie Zemon Davis and U.S. historian Christine Stansell. The…

Imagining Our Americas
This rich interdisciplinary collection of essays advocates and models a hemispheric approach to the study of the Americas. Taken together, the essays examine North and South America, the Caribbean, and the Pacific as a broad region transcending both national boundaries and the dichotomy between North and South. In the volume’s substantial introduction, the editors, an anthropologist and a historian, explain the need to move beyond the paradigm of…
Honor, Status, and Law in Modern Latin America
The history of honor has long been central to the theoretical radicalism of Latin American feminist studies. In the 1980s, when many feminist historians elsewhere were just moving away from “herstory” to discuss gender and sexuality, feminist scholars of colonial Latin America stressed the centrality of male control over female bodies in the construction of racial and class hierarchies and the balance between church and state. This collection ext…
Politics of Gender and Consumption in Authoritarian Chile, 1973-1990
This essay explores the impact of new consumer cultures on rural women in Chile's fruit-export sector during the military regime of Augusto Pinochet, 1973–1990. It challenges the longstanding assumption that the "consumerism" associated with Chile's neoliberal makeover was overwhelmingly reactionary in its political consequences and debilitating for working-class communities in particular. It argues that while new consumer cultures emerged within…

Good Wives and Unfaithful Men
On 14 February 1972 Hilda Gutiérrez Sánchez, described in judicial records as an “older housewife” living on a state-managed farm in rural Chile, charged a 25-year-old agricultural worker, Juan Pérez Hernández, of attempting to rape her while she was harvesting beans. She told the court that Pérez had passed under the barbed wire separating their places of work and sexually propositioned her while four of his male coworkers watched. She said that…
