A History of Chile 18082018 Summary

A History of Chile 18082018 by William F. Sater (California State University, Long Beach)

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 Pinera, 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.

A History of Chile 18082018 Reviews

'This superb third edition carries forward to 2002-2018 the excellent breadth and depth of the previous volumes. Once again, the authors draw on profound knowledge of Chile and its scholars to cover political, economic, social, and cultural history. This book is highly recommended.' Paul W. Drake, Professor Emeritus, University of California San Diego
'Sater and Collier's magisterial volume tells the story of Chile's evolution from a remote Spanish colony to a modern nation. The balanced, richly detailed narrative continues to impress new readers. Respected for its elegant prose and judicious treatment of events and personalities, this book is an indispensable aid to any student of Chilean history.' John R. Bawden, author of The Pinochet Generation: The Chilean Military in the Twentieth Century
