Reviews / Votes
"This is an important, caring and respectful book documenting the evolution of ideological perspectives and political attitudes within the Chilean left during the period 1968-1998...Without a doubt, this is an important book for scholars of identity politics and for general readers interested in Chilean politics." -- Canadian Journal of Latin American & Caribbean Studies "Highly suggestive for understanding political leadership... and the leaders' personal stories, which Hite allows her interviewees to narrate in long, direct excerpts, make for gripping reading" -- Choice "The author effectively addresses questions of political identtity, leadership, and change through the lens of interviews with Chilean leaders of the Left. She contributes to our understanding of the transformation of the Left universally and the evolution of political culture in the Chilean national setting. Her conceptualization of individual political trajectories provides a powerful explanatory framework to comprehend the formulation of political thought and action." -- Jadwiga E.
