Ephemeral Histories
Politics under Salvador Allende was a battle fought in the streets. Everyday attempts to Òganar la calleÓ allowed a wide range of urban residents to voice potent political opinions. SantiaguinosÊmarched through the streets chanting slogans, seized public squares, and plastered city walls with graffiti, posters, and murals. Urban art might only last a few hours or a day before being torn down or painted over, but such activism allowed a wide range of city dwellers to participate in the national political arena. These popular political strategies were developed under democracy, only to be reimagined under the Pinochet dictatorship. Ephemeral Histories places urban conflict at the heart of Chilean history, exploring how marches and protests, posters and murals, documentary film and street photography, became the basis of a new form of political change in Latin America in the late twentieth century.
Chile 1973. The Other 9/11
A history of the build-up and the ultimate clash during the Chilean coup of 11 September 1973, featuring over 100 color photos, profiles, and maps. In 1970, Salvador Guillermo Allende Gossens, a physician and leftist politician, was elected the President of Chile. Involved in political life for nearly 40 years, Allende adopted a policy of nationalization of industries and collectivization—measures that brought him on a collision course with the legislative and judicial branches of the government, and then the center-right majority of the Chilean Congress. Before long, calls were issued for his overthrow by force. Indeed, on 11 September 1973, the military—supported by the Central Intelli...
Hungry for Revolution
Hungry for Revolution tells the story of how struggles over food fueled the rise and fall of Chile's Popular Unity coalition and one of Latin America's most expansive social welfare states. Reconstructing ties among workers, consumers, scientists, and the state, Joshua Frens-String explores how Chileans across generations sought to center food security as a right of citizenship. In so doing, he deftly untangles the relationship between two of twentieth-century Chile's most significant political and economic processes: the fight of an emergent urban working class to gain reliable access to nutrient-rich foodstuffs and the state's efforts to modernize its underproducing agricultural countryside.
The Class Struggle in Latin America

This innovative book offers a unique perspective on the evolving dynamics of class struggle, engaging both the destructive forces of capitalist development and those seeking to consolidate the system and preserve the status quo, alongside the efforts of popular resist...
The Last Day of Oppression, and the First Day of the Same
Throughout the 2000s Latin America transformed itself into the leading edge of anti-neoliberal resistance in the world. What is left of the Pink Tide today? What is their relationship to the explosive social movements that propelled them to power? As China's demand slackens for Latin American commodities, will governments continue to rely on natural resource extraction? In an accessible and penetrating volume, Jeffery Webber examines the most important questions facing the Latin American left today.

Conquistadores, négriers et inquisiteurs
Le conquistador, le négrier et l'inquisiteur sont trois grandes figures qui émergent de l'oeuvre de Bernard Grunberg. Ils ont participé à la conquête du Nouveau Monde, assujetti et exploité les populations rencontrées et connecté les espaces à l'échelle planétaire. Qu'ils soient bons ou mauvais, ils appartiennent profondément à l'univers dans lequel ils évoluent. Ils ont, chacun à leur façon, fait le XVIe siècle.
Les politiques minières de la République de Guinée
Cet ouvrage explore la manière dont l’extraversion économique et la captation de la rente minière structurent durablement les trajectoires sociales, économiques et politiques de la Guinée, avec un focus empirique sur la région de Boké, zone stratégique de l’activité extractive. Elle interroge les formes de redistribution de la rente et met en lumière les dynamiques de pouvoir et les transformations sociales engendrées par l’extractivisme. L’étude se fonde sur le concept d’extractivisme (Gudynas, 2016), conçu comme un paradigme économique fondé sur l’exploitation intensive de ressources naturelles peu transformées. Elle le confronte à celui de développementisme, ...
