Download or read book Flight from Chile written by Thomas Wright and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2023 marks the fiftieth anniversary of General Pinochet's coup on September 11, 1973. During the wave of mass arrests, torture, and executions that followed, people began fleeing Chile. Over the next fifteen years some two hundred thousand Chileans sought exile in countries around the world. Out of their anguish and anger come these moving and powerful testimonies of their fractured lives--the first oral history of the Chilean diaspora, now revised and updated. Many who fled had been tortured, and they clung to the principle that the dictatorship was an evil that had to be destroyed. But their zeal and solidarity with other refugees often failed to sustain families. Many marriages collapsed, and children lost interest in their native land and culture. After civilian rule returned in 1990, many returning exiles felt estranged from a homeland forever changed. This timely update of the 1998 collection continues to remind us of the fracturing legacy and enduring oppression of usurpation and authoritarian rule long after its time has passed.

This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the impact of exile in the formation of independent republics in Chile and the Río de la Plata in the decades after independence. Exile was central to state and nation formation, playing a role in the emergence of territorial borders and Romantic notions of national difference, while creating a transnational political culture that spanned the new independent nations. Analyzing the mobility of a large cohort of largely elite political émigrés from Chile and the Río de la Plata across much of South America before 1862, Edward Blumenthal reinterprets the political thought of well-known figures in a transnational context of exile. As Blumenthal shows, exile was part of a reflexive process in which elites imagined the nation from abroad while gaining experience building the same state and civil society institutions they considered integral to their republican nation-building projects.

Book excerpt: This project draws upon interviews with members of the Chilean exile community in Winnipeg, focusing on the life stories of Jose and Veronica-a couple exiled in 1976. Jose's narrative of pre-exile life in Chile is typical of the dominant Chilean exile narrative. His story establishes his credibility as a political refugee, concentrating on Chilean politics and the seriousness of his political activity. Veronica, however, tells a very different account of life in Chile. Her narrative is characterized by teenage hijinks, detachment from Chile's socialist project, and excitement about moving to Canada. Her divergence from the dominant exile narrative is best understood through an exploration of her life as a young woman in Chile and her more recent Canadian experiences. Both are essential components to the way she remembers and narrates her life story. Read against Jose's contrasting narrative, Veronica's story sheds light on a profoundly different exile experience.

Book excerpt: "On September 11, 1973, Chile's General Pinochet led a quick and brutal military coup over the Allende government and then installed a dictatorship that controlled the country until late 1998. Many Allende sympathizers - and all free-thinking Chilean citizens, for that matter - were forced into exile or put into concentration camps." "Ignacio Lopez-Calvo argues that this event shaped Chilean narrative into two structural forms that roughly adhere to a social chronology: liberationist narrative, "cathartic," journalistic testimonies that provide models for revolutionary behavior against authoritarianism; and demystifying narrative, which uses the events of 1973, as well as the colonial aspirations of European countries, as a "paradise lost" backdrop in which the characters are able to create their own non-political realities that become models of democratization." "At the same time, Lopez-Calvo demonstrates how Chilean writers in particular and Southern Cone writers in general - while sharing the same ontological sources with European literature - have struggled to define their own genre separate from North American and European narrative forms. He provides an exhaustive survey of major Chilean authors, including Jose Donoso, Fernando Algria, Ianos Magallanes, Hernan Valdes, Jorge Edwards, Ana Vasquez, Ariel Dorfman, and many others."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Return from Exile written by Katy Wassam and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This senior honors thesis presents the missing chapter of the Chilean exile experience. It studies the return to Chile from exile that resulted from the Pinochet dictatorship of 1973-1990. It explains the long, complicated process of return, elaborates on its positive and negative aspects, and exposes the reality of returnees' present-day situations. I know it is impossible to truly complete the story, because Chilean exiles, their children, and their grandchildren are still living. Each generation carries the experience with them in distinct ways, and they are constantly re-shaping the story's ending as they live day by day. I therefore write the story of return up until present day, provide my reflections for the future, and leave it up to the returnees and Chilean society to see where they will take it next. By using testimonies from interviews I have conducted and analyzing scholarly works written on the subject, I answer my guiding question: how did the processes of dictatorship and transition to democracy in Chile intersect with the experiences that exiles brought back with them from abroad to shape initial and long-term reinsertion? This thesis provides a valuable addition to the field of Latin American Studies because the long-term impacts of return from exile in Chile have not yet been studied in great detail, especially in the English language. My primary goal in writing this thesis is to demonstrate the penetrating impact of the Pinochet military dictatorship in Chile, which, twenty-two years after its downfall, still affects the lives of thousands of former Chilean exiles and their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chilean coup d'Žtat of 1973 was a watershed event in the history of Chile. It was also a defining moment in the life of writer Marjorie Agos’n. This collection of prose vignettes and free verse draws upon her experiences as a child in Chile, an expatriate abroad, and a minority JewÑeven in the land she calls homeÑto create a striking portrait of a life of exile. The tone of the book varies as it lyrically explores the geography of Chile and weaves into it the themes of exile and oppression. At times the words become hymns to the physical beauty of her country, evoking the grandeur of this land extending to the southernmost tip of the world. At times they are intimate and melancholy, exploring personal and familial history through miniature portraits that reveal the pain of being different. Finally the tone becomes angry as she denounces the injustices committed against her friends and against the families of the disappeared during the seventeen-year dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Combining themes of memory, childhood, minority issues, Judaism, and political oppression, this collection contains some of Agos’nÕs strongest work. Of Earth and Sea is a poetic autobiography that explores the world of Chile with eyes that see both despair and hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, dictatorships in Latin America hastened the outward movement of intellectuals, academics, artists, and political and social activists to other countries. Following the coups that toppled democratically elected governments or curtailed parliamentary oversight, the incoming military or civilian-military administrations assumed that, by forcing those aligned with opposition movements out of the country, they would assure their control of politics and domestic public spheres. Yet, by enlarging a diaspora of co-nationals, the authoritarian rulers merely extrapolated internal dissent and conflicts, emboldening opposition forces beyond their national borders. Displaced individuals soon had a presence in many host countries, gaining the support of solidarity circles and advocacy networks that condemned authoritarianism and worked with exiles and internal resistance towards the restoration of electoral democracy. Exiles soon became vehicles for spreading cultural ideas from abroad, celebrating cosmopolitanism over nationalism, and emphasizing human rights and democracy in Latin American countries. Exile, Diaspora, and Return explores how Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay have been affected by post-exilic relocations, transnational migrant displacements, and diasporas. Specifically, this book provides the first comprehensive analysis of diasporic experiences and the impact of returnees on the public life, culture, institutions, and development of post-authoritarian politics in the Southern Cone of the Americas. Bringing together sociopolitical, cultural, and policy analysis with the testimonies of dozens of intellectuals, academics, political activists, and policy makers, the authors address the impact of exile on people's lives and on their fractured experiences; the debates and prospects of return; the challenges of dis-exile and post-exilic trends; and the ways in which those who experienced exile impacted democratized institutions, public culture, and discourse. Furthermore, the authors present new readings of the recent history of South America and the diasporas that emphasize the importance of regional, transnational or global dimensions over the national.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of people are displaced each year by war, persecution, and famine and the global refugee population continues to grow. Canada has often been regarded as a benevolent country, welcoming refugees from around the globe. However, refugees have encountered varying kinds of reception in Canada. Finding Refuge in Canada: Narratives of Dislocation is a collection of personal narratives about the refugee experience in Canada. It includes critical perspectives from authors from diverse backgrounds, including refugees, advocates, front-line workers, private sponsors, and civil servants. The narratives collected here confront dominant public discourse about refugee identities and histories and provide deep insight into the social, political, and cultural challenges and opportunities that refugees experience in Canada. Contributors consider Canada’s response to various groups of refugees and how Canadian perspectives on war, conflict, and peace are constructed through the refugee support experience. These individual stories humanize the global refugee crisis and challenge readers to reflect on the transformative potential of more equitable policies and processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkable memoir, Dorfman describes an extraordinary life, torn between the United States, South America, and his Jewish heritage, between English and Spanish, between revolution and repression. Interwoven with the story of how Dorfman switched languages and countries--not once, but three times--is a day-to-day account of his multiple escapes from death during Pinochet's military takeover of Chile in 1973. Combining eight vignettes of his life before 1973 with eight scenes from the coup, Dorfman filters these events through an engaging, hybrid consciousness.A beautifully written and deeply moving auto-biography by one of the "greatest living Latin American writers" (Newsweek), Heading South, Looking North is at once a vivid account of a life as complex and mysterious as the fictional characters Dorfman has created, and an enthralling search for a permanent home, a political cause, and a cultural identity.

Download or read book Unsettling Nostalgia in Spain and Chile written by Lisa DiGiovanni and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-11-08 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unsettling Nostalgia in Spain and Chile: Longing for Resistance in Literature and Film reframes nostalgia to analyze how writers and filmmakers have responded to 20th-century dictatorial violence and loss in Spain and Chile. By reaching beyond reductive definitions that limit nostalgia to a conservative desire to defend traditional power hierarchies, Lisa DiGiovanni captures the complexity of a critically conscious type of longing and form of transmission that she terms “unsettling nostalgia.” Using literature and film, DiGiovanni illustrates how unsettling nostalgia imbues representations of pre-dictatorial mobilization during the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1939) and the Chilean Popular Unity (1970–1973), as well as depictions of clandestine resistance to the Franco dictatorship (1939–1975) and the Pinochet regime (1973–1989). Positive memories of efforts to upend power hierarchies coexist with retrospective critiques that fissure romanticized views of revolutionary struggle. Unsettling nostalgic works engender deeper understandings of the complexities of political movements and how stories of resistance are meaningful today. By calling attention to the parallels between nostalgic modes that resist multiple injustices based on gender, class, and sexuality, this book traces an evocative continuity between Spain and Chile that goes beyond the initial work that links forms of militaristic authoritarianism. Scholars of Latin American studies, film studies, literary studies, history, women's and gender studies, memory studies, and rhetoric will find this book particularly useful.
