Description

Written as a book for undergraduate students, Surviving Dictatorship is both a visual sociology and a case study that communicates the lived experience of poverty and powerlessness in an authoritarian society: Pinochet's Chile. So powerful a shaper of the poor's experience is a dictatorship, that one might add "degree of authoritarianism" (conceived by Patricia Hill Collins) as an additional dimension to the idea.

This book is ideal for courses in social inequalities, poverty, and race, class and gender.
