Sommario/riassunto

Dictatorship in South America explores the experiences of Brazilian, Argentine and Chilean experience under military rule. Presents a single-volume thematic study that explores experiences with dictatorship as well as their social and historical contexts in Latin



Americ. Examines at the ideological and economic crossroads that brought Argentina, Brazil and Chile under the thrall of military dictatorship. Draws on recent historiographical currents from Latin America to read these regimes as radically ideological and inherently unstable.
