Publisher's Synopsis
This book on the history of Chile and Latin America offers a comprehensive view of the country's development, from its independence in the 19th century to the challenges of the 21st century, closely linked to the Latin American experience and its relationship with the United States during the 20th century and the present. Throughout five chapters, it combines a precise chronology with thematic approaches that highlight the social, economic, political, and cultural tensions of each period. More than just a simple narration of events, it explores the processes and contradictions that have shaped the country, questions myths, and offers new perspectives. This work is aimed at English-speaking audiences, as well as anyone interested in the history of Chile, regardless of age or educational background, and seeks to serve as an accessible and enriching guide to understanding the past and its impact on the present.
