Description and Table of Contents
Description
This examination of Chile's history covers the colonial period through to the present. It has a thematic style, which, by emphasizing continuities in such areas as urbanization, modernization, the role of the military, workers and rural labour in society and politics, allows a coherent picture of Chile's historical development to emerge through the narrative. For this edition, all information has been updated, and a chapter has been added which covers events in Chile during the nineties, focusing especially on the transition from military to civilian government. A number of new photographs have also been added.
