This book examines the struggle for human rights in Chile since 1973 and celebrates the academic work and activism of Latin Americanist Alan Angell. It analyses Chileans’ collective memory of the Pinochet regime and the role of contemporary opponents of the advancement of human rights. Its focus on a single country allows for a more detailed exploration of memory and human rights than those in comparable treatments of these topics in the Southern Cone.
The book brings together contributors connected to Angell, Oxford University’s Latin American Centre and the UK more broadly through their studies, research and personal histories. They include two former ministers in the Boric government, one of whom is a former president of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Through its unique structure, timing and thematic approach, the book provides valuable insights to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as lecturers and researchers.
