Chile's natural beauty, fascinating history, cultural
traditions, and warm people are uniquely evoked in "Culture and
Customs of Chile." Chilean American Castillo-Feliu effectively
conveys how Chile's geography has helped to shape it into a modern,
socially responsible model in Latin America. Students and other
readers will learn how this small country has contributed to the
hemisphere's stature, from a stable political scene to
seafood-inspired cuisine. Chile's lively history forms the backdrop
for a survey of a wealth of social riches. The literary lion Pablo
Neruda, Andean music, and fine wine are just a few of the
highlights found herein.
Because it has been such a model country, except for a troubled
period in the 1970s and 1980s under the dictator Augusto Pinochet,
Chile often stays out of headline news in the United States.
Through chapters on history and people, religion, social customs,
broadcasting and print media, literature, performing arts, and the
arts and architecture, "Culture and Customs of Chile" will
introduce Chile to a wider audience who can appreciate its
understated charms. A chronology and appendix of the Spanish of
Chile are indispensable aids.
