Sketches of Life in Chile, 1841-1851

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Writing under the pseudonym "Jotabeche," José Joaquín Vallejo wrote forty-one short articles on Chilean life and society in the early republic. Known for their caustic wit, his writings were an instant success when they were first published in Chilean magazines and newspapers. This volume presents these vivid essays for the first time in English.Vallejo made famous the style of writing termed "costumbrista"--sketches and vignettes of society and local customs. He focused on the Norte Chico, or the mining zone of Copiapó where he was born and where he lived most of his later life. His essays include vivid studies of mineworkers; the advancement of modernity in the steamships at Caldera; the religious, intensely cultural province of Copiapó; and the general atmosphere of liberalism beginning to pervade the country of Chile during that time.Considered the founder of his country's "genuinely national literature," he is the first creative writer of stature to emerge in Chile after the country's wars of independence. A provincial northerner, his writings give a sense of what these parts of Chile looked and felt like during the years of the early Chilean republic, and are consequently of ultimate value.

Chile: The Making of a Republic, 1830-1865
Politics and Ideas

Chile enjoyed unique prestige among the Spanish American republics of the nineteenth century for its stable and increasingly liberal political tradition. How did this unusual story unfold? The tradition was forged in serious and occasionally violent conflicts between the dominant Conservative Party, which governed in an often authoritarian manner from 1830 to 1858, and the growing forces of political Liberalism. A major political realignment in 1857-8 paved the way for comprehensive liberalization. This book examines the formative period of the republic's history and combines an analysis of the ideas and assumptions of the Chilean political class with a narrative of the political process from the consolidation of the Conservative regime in the 1830s, to the beginnings of liberalization in the early 1860s. The book is based on a comprehensive survey of the writings and speeches of politicians and the often rumbustious Chilean press of the period.

Ideas and Politics of Chilean Independence 1808-1833

This book covers the years from the breakdown of the Spanish Empire in America to the stabilisation of the new republic of Chile. It is a survey of the political ideas and the interplay of ideas and political action during the independence period. Whilst examining the influences making for change in late colonial Chile and the implications of political experiment and instability, much of the text is devoted to a description of the common ideology of the revolution. The author considers that the political theory was based on the notions of the social contract, the sovereignty of the people, representative government, the division of powers and a system of natural rights. It was derived from the liberal thought of the enlightenment and from the doctrines of the North American and French revolutions. But it was a complex of vaguer emotions and attitudes such as utopianism, anti-Spanish feeling, the 'black legend', an incipient nationalism and the idealisation of the Araucanian Indian which gave the revolution its mystique.

As Chile has continued to grow and prosper in the twenty-first century, this new edition of the definitive history of the country brings the story of its political, social and cultural development up to date. It describes how Ricardo Lagos and Michelle Bachelet, both highly educated Socialists, modernized the country and integrated new interests into Chilean political life, and how the billionaire, Harvard-trained economist Sebastian Piñera, who succeeded Bachelet, addressed the problems caused by the 2010 tsunami. In the last twenty years Chile diversified its economy, replaced a number of Pinochet's organizations with more inclusive institutions, cultivated Chilean culture, modernized its constitution, and fomented reconciliation of the various political factions - until economic crisis in early 2018 caused political chaos and occasionally violent public protest. Based on new statistics to measure Chile's economic and social development, this volume celebrates Chile's achievements and dissects its failures.

Una obra actualizada indispensable para conocer un país que ha influido sorprendentemente en el devenir de la historia mundial.Historia de Chile narra la evolución política, social y económica desde la independencia del país hasta nuestros días a partir de una exhaustiva documentación y búsqueda de fuentes. Los autores exploran la vigencia de la economía agrícola chilena, durante la cual aparecieron las grandes propiedades; el auge del cultivo del trigo y la minería del siglo xix; el desarrollo de la explotación de las minas de nitrato y su posterior sustitución por la minería del cobre y la diversificación de la base económica de la nación. Este volumen también traza el desarrollo político de Chile desde la oligarquía a la democracia, pasando por la elección de Salvador Allende, su derrocamiento por la dictadura militar de Pinochet y el regreso de gobiernos elegidos democráticamente. Además, examina la historia social e intelectual de Chile: el proceso de urbanización, la difusión de la educación y la salud pública, la disminución de la pobreza, la creación de una rica tradición intelectual y literaria, las experiencias de las clases medias y bajas y el desarrollo de la peliculiar cultura chilena. Una obra revisada y puesta al día indispensable para el conocimiento de un país cuya trayectoria política y económica han influido de manera sorprendente en el devenir de la historia mundial.
