Nascido em 1883, no ano da publicação de Assim Falou Zaratustra e damorte do compositor alemão Richard Wagner, o jornalista e diplomataAugusto de Castro viria a deparar-se na vida, como o próprio afirmoumais tarde, com “deliciosas ironias”. Assim, enquanto Zaratustrapertenceu a um dos autores mais apreciados por Benito Mussolini –ditador italiano de quem Castro foi admirador confesso no decorrer dasprimeiras décadas do século xx e nascido, também ele, em 1883 –, já o desaparecimento do criador de Parsifal, deu o mote para um dos artigosmais nostálgicos de Augusto de Castro, que intitulou a sua penúltimaobra, Há oitenta e três anos em Veneza (1966).Nesta obra propõe-se umaviagem pela vida de Augusto de Castro, figura marcante da vidadiplomática, política e cultural do século XX português, que acompanhoude perto as principais mudanças vivenciadas pelo país e que privou comalguns dos principais atores políticos, económicos e culturais da cenanacional e internacional do seu tempo.

This seminal book was inspired by a series of questions: What explains the endurance of Augusto Pinochet's authoritarian regime in Chile, a country with a lengthy democratic tradition? What mechanisms secured the regime's political stability and broad-based support? What role did neoliberal ideas play in authoritarian discourse and policy? How could two such opposite forces as political coercion and economic freedom coexist? And why the fascination with Pinochet's personality and leadership among elites and lower-income sectors alike? Carlos Huneeus's authoritative work explores and reveals the very nature of the Pinochet regime, examining its structures, its policies, and the complex of factors that made its lengthy duration possible. At the same time, it sheds welcome light on the nature of Chilean democracy today.

In Santiago's urban shantytowns, a searing history of poverty and Chilean state violence have prompted grassroots resistance movements among the poor and working class from the 1940s to the present. Underscoring this complex continuity, Alison J. Bruey offers a compelling history of the struggle for social justice and democracy during the Pinochet dictatorship and its aftermath. As Bruey shows, crucial to the popular movement built in the 1970s were the activism of both men and women and the coalition forged by liberation-theology Catholics and Marxist-Left militants. These alliances made possible the mass protests of the 1980s that paved the way for Chile's return to democracy, but the changes fell short of many activists' hopes. Their grassroots demands for human rights encompassed not just an end to state terror but an embrace of economic opportunity and participatory democracy for all. Deeply grounded by both extensive oral history interviews and archival research, Bread, Justice, and Liberty offers innovative contributions to scholarship on Chilean history, social movements, popular protest and democratization, neoliberal economics, and the Cold War in Latin America.

“Cuando se empieza una lucha, uno cree saber cuál es la niela final pero, a medida que la lucha avanza y se intensifica, uno se va dundo cuenta de que la meta no era el final sino más bien el verdadero principio, y que el logro de la meta, al erradicar un mal forzosamente también ocasiona problemas.”
