from VII - LATIN AMERICA: ECONOMY, SOCIETY, POLITICS, 1930 to c. 1990
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 March 2008
Most important among the primary sources for this period are newspapers, especially El Mercurio and El Diario Ilustrado from the Right, La Nación from the government, and La Opinión and El Siglo from the Left. Periodicals, notably Ercilla and Zig-Zag, are also useful; see in particular a series of candid retrospectives with past political actors arranged by Wilfredo Mayorga in Ercilla during 1965–8. The tables compiled by Markos Mamalakis, Historical Statistics of Chile, 5 vols. (Westport, Conn., 1979, 1980, 1982, 1984, 1985) are an indispensable source of information.
The most valuable memoirs come from President Arturo Alessandri Palma, Recuerdos de gobierno, 3 vols. (Santiago, Chile, 1952); U.S. Ambassador Claude G. Bowers, Chile through Embassy Windows (New York, 1958); President Gabriel González Videla, Memorias, 2 vols. (Santiago, Chile, 1975); Elías Lafertte, Vida de un comunista (Santiago, Chile, 1961); Arturo Olavarria Bravo, Chile entre dos Alessandri, 4 vols. (Santiago, Chile, 1962, 1965), by a professional politician; Eudocio Ravines, La gran estafa (Santiago, Chile, 1954), by a disillusioned Comintern agent; and General Carlos Sáez Morales, Recuerdos de un soldado, 3 vols. (Santiago, 1934).
The best general history of Chile is Brian Loveman, Chile: The Legacy of Hispanic Capitalism, 2nd ed. (New York, 1988). A comprehensive contribution on the period from the 1930s to the 1950s is Paul W. Drake, Socialism and Populism in Chile, 1932–52 (Urbana, Ill., 1978). Other basic works include the collection of articles in Universidad de Chile, Desarrollo de Chile en la primera mitad del siglo XX, 2 vols.
