History

The first major history of Chile’s most significant peasant rebellion and the violent repression that followed

Ránquil explores the 1934 revolt of peasants against Chile’s oligarchic political order and the brutal military counterinsurgency that ended the rebellion. Thomas Miller Klubock exposes the country’s history of political violence and authoritarianism and chronicles peasant movements to build a more just and freer society. Klubock further demonstrates that repression in the countryside and the historical amnesia or olvido surrounding political violence produced by amnesties lie at the foundation of Chile’s democratic political traditions and enduring social inequalities.

Reviews for Ranquil: Rural Rebellion, Political Violence, and Historical Memory in Chile

Winner of the Whitaker Book Prize from the Mid-Atlantic Council on Latin American Studies (MACLAS) This deeply researched narrative unfolds like a historical novel, capturing the protagonists in the long history of conflict over land, labor conditions, and national government policies that provoked the Ranquil rebellion and massacre, as well as its 'place' in present-day Chilean politics and historical memory. -Brian Loveman, author of No Higher Law: American Foreign Policy and the Western Hemisphere since 1776 In this meticulously researched, finely crafted, and cogently argued work, Klubock challenges Chile's long-standing image as a paradigm of social peace and political concord in Latin America. This is a mandatory read for anyone interested in contemporary Chilean history. -Julio Pinto, Universidad de Santiago de Chile
