The first major history of Chile's most significant peasant
rebellion and the violent repression that followed In 1934,
peasants turned to revolution to overturn Chile's oligarchic
political order and the profound social inequalities in the Chilean
countryside. The brutal military counterinsurgency that followed
was one of the worst acts of state terror in Chile until the
military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990). Using
untapped archival sources, award-winning scholar Thomas Miller
Klubock exposes Chile's long history of political violence and
authoritarianism and chronicles peasants' movements to build a more
just and freer society. Klubock further explores how an amnesty law
that erased both the rebellion and the military atrocities lay the
foundation for the political stability that characterized Chile's
multi-party democracy. This historical amnesia or olvido, Klubock
argues, was a precondition of national reconciliation and
democratic rule, which endured until 1973, when conflict in the
countryside ended once again with violent repression during the
Pinochet dictatorship.
