From the supplier: The American lifestyle is envied and copied all over the world. In Chile, for example, the American culture is visible in shopping malls and the increasing consumption of imported American goods. The trend, however is not without its serious consequences on the local economy. Many of the industries central in the affluent lifestyle such as fashion, sportswear, electronic goods employ exploitative labor rules and provide low wages for their workers. Because Chile's economic progress has to depend on low wages, further further growth appears difficult to attain.

Product Description
A leading Latin American centre of radical propaganda painting since 1940 - reflected chiefly through public murals - Chile is now home to a unique and extraordinarily vibrant street art scene. Since the end of the Pinochet dictatorship in 1990, Chile has embraced an era of new freedoms, clearly reflected through the prism of publicly accessible art forms. Today, old school muralists can be seen next to contemporary graffiti writers; each exhibiting a unique style yet sharing a rebellious spirit. Since 2000, politically engaged street art has cross-fertilized with graffiti to create a multi-faceted and rapidly developing panorama of politically didactic and ironically post political street art. In the Chile of today, Latin American propagandistic traditions encounter the rebelliousness of worldwide graffiti; the outcome is an approachable yet defiantly anarchic street art that plays a central role in the fabric of Chilean society and culture as reflected by the artful urban colorful expressions of adorned cityscapes. ...

Chile from the streets - maravilloso!
For a South American enthusiast like me (I spend a month every year in Colombia), this is a very welcome addition to the crowds of street art books. Brazil is already well covered, so it's great now to have Chile. The book has obviously been thoroughly researched by the author, and unlike many books on the subject, has plenty of text. I like the way that it covers Chile's mural tradition and the artistic influences on the country. Even though I speak and read Spanish myself, it's good that the Spanish texts are translated into English. For anyone interested in contemporary culture in Chile, this is the book. ... Read more

Product Description

Product Description
This tale of two cities--Butte, Montana, and Chuquicamata, Chile--traces the relationship of capitalism and community across cultural, national, and geographic boundaries. Combining social history with ethnography, Janet Finn shows how the development of copper mining set in motion parallel processes involving distinctive constructions of community, class, and gender in the two widely separated but intimately related sites. While the rich veins of copper in the Rockies and the Andes flowed for the giant Anaconda Company, the miners and their families in both places struggled to make a life as well as a living for themselves.
Miner's consumption, a popular name for silicosis, provides a powerful metaphor for the danger, wasting, and loss that penetrated mining life. Finn explores themes of privation and privilege, trust and betrayal, and offers a new model for community studies that links local culture and global capitalism. ... Read more

Tracing the Veins - Reviewed
Having been raised in Butte, worked in the mines and was a member of the local miners union, I find that although this book appears to be well researched and documented, it has a certain level of naiveity concerning operating a business.It is repetative, biased, and failing to make any clear conclusions except that the ladies in Chile did not like standing in lines to make purchases at the company stores.

Thoroughly researched and written from the heart.
Having grown up in Butte Montana and being very familiar with Ms. Finnswork, I cannot say enough about how valuable this book is in terms oftelling the long-untold story of women in the mining community.

Herintense and thorough research is extraordinary and her heartfelt personalconnection to the subjects she deals with make it an engrossing book. Irecommend it to all who would understand the universal plight of womencreating culture in a society which chose to largely ignore them - asociety that could not have existed without them and their heroic efforts. ...
