Social struggles and democracy in Chile

$14.000

The text analyzes the logics that guide the action of the shantytown dwellers, provides us with an overview of the social and political landscape of the nineteen-eighties, and plunges us into the dawn of the democratic transition. Some conclusions drawn from this book can be very useful for understanding the action of the shantytown dwellers today. If in the eighties sacrifice was valued as a moral boundary between the poor and the middle class, today effort operates, the content of which is similar but less tied to the Catholic religion. Likewise, in the analysis of the logic of revolutionary rupture, socialism appears directly as a form of organization alternative to capitalism, whereas today the anti-neoliberal or anti-capitalist stance precedes the definition of a positive horizon.
