A wide-ranging exploration of the diverse historical connections between Chile and California This groundbreaking history explores the many unrecognized, enduring linkages between the state of California and the country of Chile. The book begins in 1786, when a French expedition brought the potato from Chile to California, and it concludes with Chilean president Michelle Bachelet's diplomatic visit to the Golden State in 2008. During the intervening centuries, new crops, foods, fertilizers, mining technologies, laborers, and ideas from Chile radically altered California's development. In turn, Californian systems of servitude, exotic species, educational programs, and capitalist development strategies dramatically shaped Chilean history. Edward Dallam Melillo develops a new set of historical perspectives-tracing eastward-moving trends in U.S. history, uncovering South American influences on North America's development, and reframing the Western Hemisphere from a Pacific vantage point. His innovative approach yields transnational insights and recovers long-forgotten connections between the peoples and ecosystems of Chile and California.

When lorry drivers in Northampton slapped stickers on their cabs declaring ‘No truck with the Chilean Junta!’ they were doing more than threatening to boycott. They were asserting their own identity as proud unionists and proud internationalists. But what did trade unionists really know of what was happening in Chile? And how could someone else’s oppression become a means to solidify your own identity? The labour movements of Britain and Australia used ‘Chile’ as an impetus for action and to give meaning to their own political expression, though it was not all smooth sailing. Throughout the 1970s, social movements and unions alternately clashed and melded, and those involved with ‘Chile’ were also caught within the unhappy marriage of the cross-cultural left. This book draws together the events and stories of these complex times.

Dit boek belicht het vluchtproces, het profiel en het integratieproces van de vluchtelingen uit Chili die onder de dictatuurjaren van Pinochet hun land verlieten en naar België kwamen. Hoe reageerde de Belgische samenleving op het militaire regime en de komst van de vluchtelingen? Hoe verliep hun aankomst in België? Hoe reorganiseerden ze zich in ons land? Op welke middelen en instanties konden ze een beroep doen? Vanuit een sociaal-historisch perspectief wordt ingegaan op deze en andere vragen, waarbij naast geschreven bronnenmateriaal vooral de visie en ervaringen van de betrokkenen zelf de basis vormen van de studie.
