Written as a book for undergraduate students as well as scholars,
Surviving Dictatorship is a work of visual sociology and oral
history, and a case study that communicates the lived experience of
poverty, repression, and resistance in an authoritarian society:
Pinochet's Chile. It focuses on shantytown women, examining how
they join groups to cope with exacerbated impoverishment and
targeted repression, and how this leads them into very varied forms
of resistance aimed at self-protection, community-building, and
mounting an offensive. Drawing on a visual database of shantytown
photographs, art, posters, flyers, and bulletins, as well as on
interviews, photo elicitation, and archival research, the book is
an example of how multiple methods might be successfully employed
to examine dictatorship from the perspective of some of the least
powerful members of society. It is ideal for courses in social
inequalities, poverty, race/class/gender, political sociology,
global studies, urban studies, women's studies, human rights, oral
history, and qualitative methods.
