The Religion of Life
The Religion of Life examines the interconnections and relationship between Catholicism and eugenics in early twentieth-century Chile. Specifically, it demonstrates that the popularity of eugenic science was not diminished by the influence of Catholicism there. In fact, both eugenics and Catholicism worked together to construct the concept of a unique Chilean race, la raza chilena. A major factor that facilitated this conceptual overlap was a generalized belief among historical actors that male and female gender roles were biologically determined and therefore essential to a functioning society. As the first English-language study of eugenics in Chile, The Religion of Life surveys a wide variety of different materials (periodicals, newspapers, medical theses, and monographs) produced by Catholic and secular intellectuals from the first half of the twentieth century. What emerges from this examination is not only a more complex rendering of the relationship between religion and science but also the development of White supremacist logics in a Latin American context.
Los que no volvieron
Los que no volvieron registra los nombres y las circunstancias de las muertes de cada uno de los hombres que ofrendaron su vida durante la Guerra del Pacífico, haciendo énfasis en las muertes que habitualmente no son contadas en las estadísticas: los suicidios, asesinatos, fusilamientos, accidentes, muertes presuntas y los fallecidos por diversas enfermedades o epidemias, causadas por la incursión en territorios desconocidos e inhóspitos. La investigación rigurosa, exhaustiva y ordenada de forma cronológica permite al lector verificar las listas de nombres que, con crudeza, convierten las cifras y porcentajes en personas. Se trata de una obra única para conocimiento de quienes, de una u otra forma, quieran saber cómo se moría y como se olvidaba a un patriota. .
Daily Lives of Civilians in Wartime Latin America
The countries of Latin America have suffered through numerous foreign interventions and domestic wars in the nearly two centuries that have followed its independence. These conflicts have also given rise to mass mobilizations of middle-class professionals, women, peasants, urban workers, and Indians, who sought to carve out a more active public role in the new states that emerged from these struggles. In some cases, elites and their military allies violently repressed the newly emerging forces. Recent research has begun to place greater emphasis on the lives of common people and the interventions they had on the larger events of the day. Eight chapters written by different scholars show the the importance of the actions of civilians in wars in Latin America. Chapters describing civilians' roles and lives through wars in Latin America are supplemented by recommended print and online resources for further study, a glossary defining important terms and concepts, and a timeline putting events into a chronological context.
