Description:

The overthrow of the Chilean president Allende in 1973 and the military dictatorship of Pinochet ignited one of the largest social movements of the 20th century. This volume analyzes the impact of the Chilean crisis in Western and Eastern Europe, and offers new insights to the history of the Cold War, of transnational activism, and of human rights.

Synopsis:

The overthrow of the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende and the coming to power of a military regime led by Augusto Pinochet on 11 September 1973 drew worldwide attention towards Chile. The political repression shook the world and ignited one of the largest social movements of the 1970s and 80s. Hundreds of solidarity committees and a gamut of human rights and justice organizations mobilized thousands of people. This volume offers a compelling insight into the exceptional impact that the Chilean crisis made in Western and Eastern Europe. In doing so, it provides a new and broader perspective into the history of the Cold War, transnational activism, and human rights.
