Book Description

Publication Date: December 1990

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

A pictorial record of the Pinochet years, this volume provides a "family album" of the 1973-88 period under military rule in Chile. With brief commentaries by Chilean literary figures Marco de la Parra and Ariel Dorfman and with a selected chronology of events, the 70 black-and-white photographs provide a vivid memory of the dark years, a memory that should remind us all of how fragile freedom can be even in one of Latin America's previously long-standing democracies. An attractive and well-produced book, it will interest those who followed the tragedy of Chile and who now rejoice in the restoration of democratic government there.
