The Chilean military’s violent overthrow of Salvador Allende’s democratically-elected government sent shock waves around the world and sparked a global solidarity movement. This book traces that international campaign to Britain, where politicians, trade unionists, students, women’s rights movements, religious groups and journalists protested human rights abuses in Chile, and stood in solidarity with the Chilean people.Offering the first history of this international movement, this book shows how the British, especially the working class, acted for a cause far beyond their shore and linked human rights abuses in Chile to politics and society at home. Exploring themes of internationalism, exile and resistance, alongside a wealth of testimonies from key political players and displaced Chilean refugees as they coped with life in exile, Solidarity from Chile to Britain explores the motives and practices that underpinned this movement, and reveals the impact and legacies it had on British political, social and cultural life.

Walking Within His Shadow tells of how God was able to pull me through my darkest times when satan tried to destroy me. I want people to see no matter how many mistakes are made Jesus is there, making the way. It speaks of forgiveness to others and to myself, which I thought was an impossible task. I tell of healings, miracles I witnessed and Jesus loving me when I did the unthinkable as a Christian.

The United States has shaped Latin American history, condemning it to poverty and inequality by intervening to protect the rich and powerful. America’s Backyard tells the story of that intervention.Using newly declassified documents, Grace Livingstone reveals the US role in the darkest periods of Latin American history, including Pinochet’s coup in Chile, the Contra War in Nicaragua and the death squads in El Salvador. She shows how George W Bush’s administration used the War on Terror as a new pretext for intervention; how it tried to destabilise leftwing governments and push back the ‘pink tide’ washing across the Americas. America’s Backyard also includes chapters on drugs, economy and culture. It explains why US drug policy has caused widespread environmental damage yet failed to reduce the supply of cocaine, and it looks at the US economic stake in Latin America and the strategies of the big corporations.Today Latin Americans are demanding respect and an end to the Washington Consensus. Will the White House listen?

This book explores the links between the British government and the dictatorships of Argentina and Chile, 1973-82, using newly-opened British archives. It gives the most complete picture to date of British arms sales, military visits and diplomatic links with the Argentine and Chilean military regimes before the Falklands war. It also provides new evidence that Britain had strategic and economic interests in the Falkland Islands and was keen to exploit the oil around the Islands. It looks at the impact of private corporations and social movements, such as the Chile Solidarity Campaign and human rights groups, on foreign policy. By analyzing the social background of British diplomats and tracing the informal social networks between government officials and the private sector, it considers the pro-business biases of state officials. It describes how the Foreign Office tried to dissuade the Labour governments of 1974-79 from imposing sanctions on the Pinochet regime in Chile and discusses whether un-elected officials place constraints on politicians aiming to pursue an ‘ethical’ foreign policy.
