Reviews

"""Many recent accounts of Chile's October 2019 rebellion simplistically trace its origins to a rejection of the legacy of the Pinochet dictatorship's neoliberal economic model. This outstanding volume brings together a collection of stellar scholars to provide a more nuanced account of the origins of the revolt, uncovering the complex interaction between authoritarian legacies, social trauma, and dashed expectations. It is a definitive work for anyone seeking to understand Chile's past, its current political moment and its constitutional path forward."" - Peter M. Siavelis, Professor of Political Science and International Affairs, Wake Forest University, USA ""This fine collection proposes a suggestive and persuasive combination of factors for understanding the 'social uprising' in Chile from October 2019. Distinguished scholars consider the historical, generational, social, and political dynamics behind a remarkable and unexpected breakdown in the 30-year post-dictatorial consensus. Deep knowledge, open-minded analysis, and the keen desire to review prior understandings of Chilean 'modernisation' evident in these chapters will greatly enrich the continuing debate over the qualities of public life and culture in the country."" - James Dunkerley, Professor of Politics at Queen Mary, University of London, UK ""Solving the Chilean puzzle of stability and plenty has been something of a mini industry for over a century. The events of October 18th 2019 made contemporary Chile even more of a paradox: thirty years of success followed by a popular demand for drastic change. This book represents our best efforts to understand both the long term and immediate causes of the explosion and to begin re-imagining a future Chile."" - Miguel A. Centeno, Musgrave Professor of Sociology, Princeton University, USA"
