"The rise and imposition of military dictatorships in South America in the late twentieth century holds particular relevance today as the world has experienced a broad resurgence of authoritarianism. This publication marks the fiftieth anniversary of Chile's coup d'âetat, whic was led by Augusto Pinochet and ushered in seventeen years of repression. Chile's reign of terro under military dictatorship had counterparts in the continent's other 'Southern Cone' countries--Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay--as democracy fell to dictatorial rule. In time, citizens across the continent and abroad bonded in their fight against authoritarianism. Rising against oppression, they were supported by local, regional, hemispheric, and international organizations, solidarity groups, and persons in exile. By 1990, when Chile began its return to democracy, all the region's countries had--in varying degrees--repudiated the military-authoritarian model. Dictators and the Disappeared: Democracy Lost and Restored is a timely look at a tumultuous period in Latin American history. Essays represent a range of topics and perspectives considering political events and what it means to live and struggle today with the legacies of past dictatorships. The book features artwork from the collections of the Albuquerque Museum and the University of New Mexico's Sam L. Slick and Chile Ephemera collections"--Page 4 of cover.
