DUP 2006. Soft cover, 280 pp.
During the two years just before the 1998 arrest in London of General
Augusto Pinochet, the historian Steve J. Stern had been in Chile
collecting oral histories of life under Pinochet as part of an
investigation into the form and meaning of memories of state-sponsored
atrocities. In this compelling work, Stern shares the recollections of
individual Chileans and draws on their stories to provide a framework
for understanding memory struggles in history.
