Laboratorium świata przyszłości Październik 2019 roku. W Santiago rozpoczyna się fala protestów. „To nie 30 pesos, to 30 lat” – głosi ich slogan, nawiązujący do podwyżki cen biletów na metro i trzech dekad, jakie minęły od zakończenia rządów Augusta Pinocheta. „Nowe Chile rodzi się teraz [...]. Najwybitniejsi znawcy kontynentu [...] na różne sposoby formułowali popularną tezę o Ameryce Łacińskiej jako »laboratorium świata przyszłości«. Jeśli rzeczywiście mają rację, to Chile jest w tym laboratorium zdecydowanie najciekawszym stanowiskiem doświadczalnym”. To jedyne na świecie państwo, w którym rewolucja marksistowska została przeprowadzona za pomocą demokratycznych wyborów. Po niej nastąpił zamach stanu i siedemnastoletni terror dyktatury Pinocheta. Dla jednych (na czele z Janem Pawłem II) czołowego antykomunisty, dla innych – zbrodniarza. A później? Nierozliczanie trudnej przeszłości, uprzywilejowana pozycja Kościoła katolickiego, wadliwy system emerytalny i pogłębiające się nierówności społeczne. Wszystko to jest wciąż żywe, gdy miliony Chilijczyków wychodzą na ulice, by doprowadzić do referendum konstytucyjnego i stworzyć kraj nie dla polityków, a dla obywateli. Czy im się to uda? Jakie zmiany przyniosły protesty z ostatnich kilku lat? Czy śledząc walkę Chilijczyków, Polacy mogą lepiej zrozumieć swój kraj? MATEUSZ MAZZINI – latynoamerykanista, socjolog, reporter. Stały współpracownik „Gazety Wyborczej”, „Polityki” i „Przeglądu”. Publikuje również w „Washington Post”, „El País”, „Foreign Affairs”, „Foreign Policy”. Nominowany do nagrody Grand Press. Absolwent University of Oxford, badacz wizytujący na University College London. Wykładowca Collegium Civitas. „Spełniony sen” zaciekawionego gatunkiem ludzkim miłośnika reportaży. A to dlatego, że fascynującą opowieść o demokratycznej walce Chilijczyków autor wsparł naukową wiedzą o procesach historycznych i mechanizmach społeczno -ekonomicznych. Rzecz jest bowiem o dyktaturze: jej beneficjentach i ofiarach, o transformacji i (nie)sprawiedliwości transformacyjnej oraz sporach o pamięć i mitologizację przeszłości. Jest to też książka o promowanym przez Waszyngton neoliberalizmie i reformach emerytalnych, o „obiektywnym” sukcesie, a jednak rzeszy niezadowolonych, o protestach i demokratycznej przemocy, o napięciu między rewolucją a poszukiwaniem kompromisu, o Janie Pawle II i schyłku potęgi Kościoła katolickiego. Poruszające jest, jak nasze wschodnioeuropejskie perypetie współgrają z opowieścią z odległej Ameryki Łacińskiej. Agnieszka Lichnerowicz dziennikarka Radia TOK FM W 1989 roku Chilijczycy zagłosowali w demokratycznych wyborach i zakończyli dyktaturę Augusta Pinocheta. Ale tylko formalnie. Stworzony przez generała system trwał kolejne trzy dekady, szczególnie w wymiarze gospodarczym, co wpływało na życie zwykłych ludzi bardziej niż bieżąca polityka. Mateusz Mazzini jasno pokazuje, dlaczego rozmontowywanie tej spuścizny zajęło tyle czasu, a przy tym nie popada w łatwe uproszczenia, uczciwie opowiada o trudnych do rozstrzygnięcia konfliktach i upadaniu autorytetów. I pokazuje, że mityczna „zgoda narodowa” niekoniecznie jest dobrym planem na rządzenie państwem. Warto to wszystko brać pod uwagę nawet – a w niektórych przypadkach zwłaszcza – gdy samemu mieszka się 13 000 kilometrów od Chile. Maciej Okraszewski dziennikarz, prowadzi podcast Dział Zagraniczny

This Handbook is the first systematic effort to map the fast-growing phenomenon of memory activism and to delineate a new field of research that lies at the intersection of memory and social movement studies. From Charlottesville to Cape Town, from Santiago to Sydney, we have recently witnessed protesters demanding that symbols of racist or colonial pasts be dismantled and that we talk about histories that have long been silenced. But such events are only the most visible instances of grassroots efforts to influence the meaning of the past in the present. Made up of more than 80 chapters that encapsulate the rich diversity of scholarship and practice of memory activism by assembling different disciplinary traditions, methodological approaches, and empirical evidence from across the globe, this Handbook establishes important questions and their theoretical implications arising from the social, political, and economic reality of memory activism. Memory activism is multifaceted, takes place in a variety of settings, and has diverse outcomes – but it is always crucial to understanding the constitution and transformation of our societies, past and present. This volume will serve as a guide and establish new analytic frameworks for scholars, students, policymakers, journalists, and activists alike.

Ever since its first publication in 1992, The End of History and the Last Man has provoked controversy and debate. Francis Fukuyama's prescient analysis of religious fundamentalism, politics, scientific progress, ethical codes, and war is as essential for a world fighting fundamentalist terrorists as it was for the end of the Cold War. Now updated with a new afterword, The End of History and the Last Man is a modern classic.

In 1970's Chile Pablo Neruda, the Nobel-prize winning poet, is close to death, and he senses the end of an era in Chilean politics but there is one final secret he must resolve. He recruits Cayetano Brulé, a young Cuban rogue, as his "own private Maigret" and lends Brulé the novels of Simenon as a crash course in the role of private detective. Brulé must travel across the world, through Neruda's past and the political faiths he has espoused, retracing the poet's life from Fidel Castro's Cuba to Berlin, Mexico City to Bolivia. Brulé desperately tries to fulfil Neruda's final request amid the brutal beginning of Pinochet's dictatorship while all the poet once believed in is swept away. Evocative and romantic, The Neruda Case spans lies and truth, travelling between uneasy peace and political coup, from life to death. Brulé, a daydreamer and reluctant detective, is lost among Latin America's uncertainties, venality and corruption while his first case introduces one of the great characters of international crime fiction. Among the pleasures of The Neruda Case is its provocative fictional portrait of Pablo Neruda, as the poet re-evaluates his life and begins to question abandoning those he loved for his poetry. This is the first English language translation of Roberto Ampuero's atmospheric Brulé detective novels and brings South American noir to a new audience.

As Chile descends into chaos, two disparate souls begin “an odd-couple romance, in the tradition of Kiss of the Spider Woman or The Crying Game” (Kirkus Reviews). It is the spring of 1986, and Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet is losing his grip on power. In one of Santiago’s many poor neighborhoods, a man known as the Queen of the Corner embroiders linens for the wealthy. A hopeless and lonely romantic, he listens to boleros to drown out the gunshots. Then he meets Carlos, a young, handsome man who befriends the aging homosexual and uses his house to store mysterious boxes and hold clandestine meetings. And as the relationship between these two very different men blossoms, they find themselves caught in a revolution that could doom them both. By turns funny and profoundly moving, Pedro Lemebel’s lyrical prose offers an intimate window into the mind of Pinochet himself as the world of Carlos and the Queen prepares to collide with the dictator’s own in “a wonderful snapshot of this period of Chile’s history . . . A touching tale of love and danger” (Booklist).

A New York Times Bestseller! “I hope we wake up quickly because history shows it’s a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.”—Naomi Wolf on Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson Tonight In a stunning indictment, best-selling author Naomi Wolf lays out her case for saving American democracy. In authoritative research and documentation Wolf explains how events parallel steps taken in the early years of the 20th century’s worst dictatorships such as Germany, Russia, China, and Chile. The book cuts across political parties and ideologies and speaks directly to those among us who are concerned about the ever-tightening noose being placed around our liberties. In this timely call to arms, Naomi Wolf compels us to face the way our free America is under assault. She warns us–with the straight-to-fellow-citizens urgency of one of Thomas Paine’s revolutionary pamphlets–that we have little time to lose if our children are to live in real freedom. “Recent history has profound lessons for us in the U.S. today about how fascist, totalitarian, and other repressive leaders seize and maintain power, especially in what were once democracies. The secret is that these leaders all tend to take very similar, parallel steps. The Founders of this nation were so deeply familiar with tyranny and the habits and practices of tyrants that they set up our checks and balances precisely out of fear of what is unfolding today. We are seeing these same kinds of tactics now closing down freedoms in America, turning our nation into something that in the near future could be quite other than the open society in which we grew up and learned to love liberty,” states Wolf. Wolf is taking her message directly to the American people in the most accessible form and as part of a large national campaign to reach out to ordinary Americans about the dangers we face today. This includes a lecture and speaking tour, and being part of the nascent American Freedom Campaign, a grassroots effort to ensure that presidential candidates pledge to uphold the constitution and protect our liberties from further erosion. The End of America will shock, enrage, and motivate–spurring us to act, as the Founders would have counted on us to do in a time such as this, as rebels and patriots–to save our liberty and defend our nation.

The inspiration for Chloé Zhao's 2020 Golden Lion award-winning film starring Frances McDormand. "People who thought the 2008 financial collapse was over a long time ago need to meet the people Jessica Bruder got to know in this scorching, beautifully written, vivid, disturbing (and occasionally wryly funny) book." —Rebecca Solnit From the beet fields of North Dakota to the campgrounds of California to Amazon’s CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older adults. These invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in RVs and modified vans, forming a growing community of nomads. Nomadland tells a revelatory tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy—one which foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. At the same time, it celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of these Americans who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive, but have not given up hope.

If you were to master the twenty languages discussed in Babel, you could talk with three quarters of the world's population. But what makes these languages stand out amid the world's estimated 6,500 tongues? Gaston Dorren delves deep into the linguistic oddities and extraordinary stories of these diverse lingua francas, tracing their origins and their sometimes bloody rise to greatness. He deciphers their bewildering array of scripts, presents the gems and gaps in their vocabularies and charts their coinages and loans. He even explains how their grammars order their speakers' worldview. Combining linguistics and cultural history, Babel takes us on an intriguing tour of the world, addressing such questions as how tiny Portugal spawned a major world language and Holland didn't, why Japanese women talk differently from men, what it means for Russian to be 'related' to English, and how non-alphabetic scripts, such as those of India and China, do the same job as our 26 letters. Not to mention the conundrums of why Vietnamese has four forms for 'I', or how Tamil pronouns keep humans and deities apart. Babel will change the way you look at the world and how we all speak.
