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.

Author Biography:

She has worked as an assistant professor of sociology in Hong Kong, senior researcher at the University of Coimbra, and research fellow and visiting scholar at the University of California at Berkeley, where she is currently based.
