Description:
| Chile's "economic miracle" has generated international interest, as has its return, after 18 years of military dictatorship, to civilian rule.
Recent efforts to prosecute former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet spurred worldwide debates on issues of human rights and social justice.
In this program, based in the engaging seaport city of Valparaíso and neighboring Viña del Mar, you examine Chile's political history in a contemporary cultural context. Excursions to nearby Santiago, intensive field study, and a homestay with indigenous families in either Arica, the seaside base of the Aymara and Andean cultures, or Temuko, homeland of the Mapuche, not only deepen your appreciation of the attitudes, behaviors, practices, and values encompassed within Chile's diverse panorama — they also help you to better understand Chile's efforts to reconcile its past while moving forward politically, socially, and economically. | |
