This two-volume Historical Dictionary of Chile covers the economy and the environment,
political parties and history, and reprehensible period of dictatorship during a crucial
time in Chile’s history. The end of the iron-fist rule of Augusto Pinochet, who ruled
from 1973 until 1990, however, allowed a return to democratic rule, and the country
kept searching for coherence and unity in national life among diverse and often
discordant elements.
This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Chile contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Chile.
