Stones, barricades, and pots and pans
The National Days of Protest Chile 1983 - 1986

This is a very necessary book. It tells the story of the mobilization experience of an entire generation that, between the years 1983 and 1986, spearheaded the social protest against the civil-military dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet. Its pages vividly evoke the tension, the blackouts, the shouts and slogans, the smell of burning tires, the adrenaline, the rage, the organizational capacity, and the solidarity of a people who fought the dictatorship with courage and conviction. It is the story of the invisible ones of the negotiated transition.
