Recommended: The pinochet era in chile

Response: It is interesting that there are many diverse reactions to Pinchoet's rule in Chile. Two of the responses opposed Pinochet, while two supported him. The first woman spoke about how the regime attempted to kill her and was naturally very opposed to Pinochet's rule. The third woman spoke about how her son was "disappeared" and never found and also spoke of her opposition to the regime as a result. The second woman spoke about being a staunch supporter of Pinochet because she thought he was implementing good programs, such as helping the poor, and did not think that he was really "disappearing people". In the final account, the man also accepts Pinochet's rule because he believes it will be beneficial to the Chilean economy and also

It compelled me to think about how things could have been. What if the viceroy had fully succeeded? What if he had never tried to change Lima’s political, social, or architectural structure? And how might that have affected such a cultural epicenter of that time period? He gives the audience an opportunity to nearly relive the event, but also experience a part of the event aside from the natural disasters that were just as effective to the people of Lima, their future, and the future of their city.

    The relationship between the working class and Allende is definitely a difficult to understand because it's hard to understand how a political party is supported by the same group who contributes to their downfall. The working class was not the only reason Allende lost power, but was a heavy contributor. The working class seemed to only use Allende as a reason to enforce reform, and Allende used the working class as a group of supporters. The two groups could only agree on the fact that Chile needed serious social change, and Allende was the best shot they had.

In one of his poems “He describes Latin America as an enigma a vibrant, sprawling, messy reality which did not itself know where it was or where it was going…a series of half-formed nations trapped in a history not of its own, trying to invent an alternative.” (Former Exiled Writer “Dorfman” 21)

    Through analyzing the underlying themes of Zoot Suit it is clear that Pacheco isn't real because sometimes he is really there and other times only Henry can hear him. The press is shown to have a lot of digression and influences on public views but this freedom has allowed a door to open and for something or someone to stand up and fight for their beliefs and make them heard. If the true goal is to have equal treatment of all people no matter color they are, what sex god made them, or what style they choose wear on the outside then this goal will be achieved. The author gives a good representation of true Mexican American beliefs and brings Pacheco to life.

  • Analysis of Chile's Road to Socialism

    986 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first turning point in hope for the Chilean road to socialism was that of the election of Salvador Allende as president, which gave many Yarur workers the belief that a ‘workers government’ was on their side. “For the first time, a self-proclaimed ‘workers government’ ruled Chile, dominated by the Left and pledged to socialist revolution” (Winn, 53). Allende’s role as president gave identity to the Yarur workers that they were being represented and because of this, their struggles of working in the factory conditions set by Amador Yarur would come to an end. This identification with Allende as being represented by their own voice became the first stepping-stone to the demand for socialization of the factory. “The election of a ‘Popular Government’ was a signal for them to take the revolution into their own hands and fulfill their historic aspirations through direct action from below” (Winn, 140)....

    In the book Deep Down Dark by Hector Tobar he gives you the idea that Chile is a male dominated country. I could not agree more with him on this subject. Throughout the book Tobar suggests things such as women were not allowed in the work place, and that women were a bad omen down in the mine shafts. As you can see women were not allowed to do much. They didn’t work at all because their job was to stay home raise the children, keep the house clean, and make sure dinner is on the table when the husband got home. Even at Camp Esperanza you could see what the women’s role was.

    This structural element allows the audience to become captured in individual snapshots of Guevara’s journey. The ways recounts, descriptions and commentary are combined illustrate the evolution of ‘Che’s’ revolutionary ideology and political activities. Guevara’s reflective voice evocatively presents the reader with understanding of the growth he underwent as a result of his experiences. This creates a deeper understanding of what is important to ‘Che’. Social injustice transforms the way he sees the world. By using emotive language towards the end of the book, Che impacts the audience who becomes convinced of his self-discovery and political growth. Grando shares with Guevara a dream to peacefully revolutionize and transform South America. Guevara is hesitant, as “a revolutionary without guns will never work”. This irony foreshadows the future events in the memoir and reveals how the lessons that can be learned from the experience are often paradoxical in nature. The readers are able to access personal thoughts and reflections through the vignettes. These reveal the social and political voice of the author. The uses of ellipsis create a tension and suggest how emotional and vulnerable Che felt at the end of his expedition. “I now knew… I knew that when the great guiding spirit cleaves humanity into two antagonistic

The sciences and academia were highly restricted by the regime as they were perceived to have the potential to be dissenting...

Nevertheless, there are some crucial elements which cannot be pushed aside, for example, the murders, the mass arrests and tortures as well as the exile. These things cannot simply be left out of the question. Although the media always puts a dark side to any story, the legacy of Augusto Pinochet might not have been too far from the truth, with many sources suggesting that he was a traditional dictator. And he was not a president that saved Chile from communism; he established a dictatorship that could not be challenged, murdered, tortured and imprisoned without trial, for the singular reason of having different political views, which is why General Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte is not a benevolent dictator.
