In Families in War and Peace Sarah C. Chambers places gender
analysis and family politics at the center of Chile's struggle for
independence and its subsequent state building. Linking the
experiences of both prominent and more humble families to Chile's
political and legal history, Chambers argues that matters such as
marriage, custody, bloodlines, and inheritance were crucial to
Chile's transition from colony to nation. She shows how men and
women extended their familial roles to mobilize kin networks for
political ends, both during and after the Chilean revolution. From
the conflict's end in 1823 until the 1850s, the state adopted the
rhetoric of paternal responsibility along with patriarchal
authority, which became central to the state building process.
Chilean authorities, Chambers argues, garnered legitimacy by
enacting or enforcing paternalist laws on property restitution,
military pensions, and family maintenance allowances, all of which
provided for diverse groups of Chileans. By acting as the fathers
of the nation, they aimed to reconcile the "greater Chilean family"
and form a stable government and society.
