Table of ContentsReviewsPartners in Conflict is a rich and complex narrative of social and political change, backed by deep research and theoretical insights into questions raised by feminist scholarship having to do with sexuality, gender, and patriarchy. It will become a landmark in women's history, the history of peasants and rural society, and the history of labor in Latin America. -Thomas Miller Klubock, author of Contested Communities: Class, Gender, and Politics in Chile's El Teniente Copper Mine, 1904-1951 Combining the highest achievements of social history with oral testimony, Partners in Conflict enjoys the objectivity of one and the subjectivity of the other. Tinsman's book sets a new standard for clarity, argumentative force, and simple stories that will live with readers for a long time to come. This is not just a local study, it is a major contribution to understanding how sexual and gender relations contribute to social change and the creation of a new humanity. -Temma Kaplan, author of Crazy for Democracy: Women in Grassroots Movements Pathbreaking in its use of gender analysis to illuminate agrarian reform and the Allende era, including women's work, sexuality as a terrain of contest and the role of masculinity in rural social movements and politics. Tinsman opens up a new dimension. -Peter Winn, Tufts University [M]asterful. . . . Partners in Conflict offers readers a compelling treatment of social and political change in Aconcagua during Chile's most ambitious, rapid, and contentious experiment in social uplift. . . . This work is not only an important contribution to the project of Chilean gender history, but also one that promises to transform the way both U.S. and Chilean scholars understand the agrarian reform. As a compelling and highly-readable text, moreover, the book belongs not only in courses on women's and gender history, but also those addressing labor relations, political movements, and revolution in modern Latin America. <br>--Elizabeth Quay Hutchison, Labor History Author InformationHeidi Tinsman is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California, Irvine.
