Reckoning with Pinochet is an essential work on post-dictatorship Chile and on the implications of the Chilean case for the global struggle for human rights., This well-written, superbly researched, and important book is a 'must read' not only for Latin American specialists but also for all those interested in how historical memory affects the way any nation and its peoples come to understand and to deal with their past., "In this well-researched book, Stern covers the broad swath of history from the end of the Pinochet regime to Pinochet's condemnation by the international community to Chile's leadership under Bachelet. . . . [T]he book's greatest strength is its elucidation of symbolic acknowledgment as a form of memory politics by both the state and local community. . . . Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." - R. L. Bowman, Choice, " Reckoning with Pinochet is an elegantly written, comprehensive account of Chile's memory struggle during its transition to democracy. The book, and the trilogy of which it is a part, should be required reading for all students of Latin America who are interested in contemporary political and historical issues, particularly in processes of authoritarian backlash, democratization, and memory construction. Steve Stern is a master storyteller who manages to combine rigorous historical analysis with firsthand knowledge of Chile that is so detailed the context is palpable." - Michael J. Lazzara, A Contracorriente, "This is a master work on what has proved to be one of the late 20th-century's key events: Chile's transition from General Pinochet's brutal rule to a growing promise of democracy. But it is much more. Steve J. Stern convincingly argues not only that the transition was made possible by a fierce battle over the 'memory' of Pinochet's rule and a 'healthier, accountable democracy,' but concludes by placing this struggle in a profound global context: in the early 1970s many nations began a historic shift toward human rights concerns and democracy, a shift on which Chile's experience has had a major, and reciprocal, influence."-Walter LaFeber, Andrew and James Tisch University Professor Emeritus, Cornell University, "This is a master work on what has proved to be one of the late twentieth century's key events: Chile's transition from General Pinochet's brutal rule to a growing promise of democracy. But it is much more. Steve J. Stern not only convincingly argues that the transition was made possible by a fierce battle over the 'memory' of Pinochet's rule and a 'healthier, accountable democracy,' but concludes by placing this struggle in a profound global context: in the early 1970s many nations began a historic shift toward human rights concerns and democracy, a shift on which Chile's experience has had a major, and reciprocal, influence."-- Walter LaFeber , Andrew H. and James S. Tisch Distinguished University Professor Emeritus, Cornell University, In terms of disciplinarity, the book reaches beyond Stern's own background as a historian, in a valuable and largely successful effort to break new ground in offering a social history of memory. Political scientists, cultural and memory studies specialists and ethnographers will each find echoes of their own preoccupations here. . . . Stern ranges widely and confidently through high politics, grassroots organising, cultural history, legal change and even popular song and theatre to make his point about the need for a comprehensive history of memory to be truly social. It is not necessary to agree with all aspects of his interpretive framework to be duly impressed with the scope of the achievement., "With this book, Stern has completed a monumental trilogy, begun with Remembering Pinochet's Chile (2004) and continued in Battling for Hearts and Minds (2006). . . . Perhaps Stern's greatest achievement lies in maintaining a human perspective: there are many personal testimonies throughout these pages that complement, represent, and at times contradict or qualify his judgments. . . . In the end, this is a story about the deepest questions, and Stern never resorts to facile shock-tactics, never plays tricks on the reader, and always insists that something very big and deeply human is at stake." - Paul Grant, Books and Culture, “ Reckoning with Pinochet is the best account of the trajectory of historical memory under Chile’s restored democracy from 1989 until 2006, and a revealing window on that era and its democratic transition. It reflects Steve J. Stern’s comprehensive knowledge of this period in Chile’s history and his empathetic sensibility, which enables him to see the issues he discusses through the eyes even of people with whom he profoundly disagrees.â€�- Peter Winn , editor of Victims of the Chilean Miracle: Workers and Neoliberalism in the Pinochet Era, 1973–2002, " Reckoning with Pinochet is the best account of the trajectory of historical memory under Chile's restored democracy from 1989 until 2006, and a revealing window on that era and its democratic transition.

Synopsis
The first comprehensive account of how Chile came to terms with General Augusto Pinochets legacy of human rights atrocities., Reckoning with Pinochet is the first comprehensive account of how Chile came to terms with General Augusto Pinochet's legacy of human rights atrocities. An icon among Latin America's "dirty war" dictators, Pinochet had ruled with extreme violence while building a loyal social base. Hero to some and criminal to others, the general cast a long shadow over Chile's future. Steve J. Stern recounts the full history of Chile's democratic reckoning, from the negotiations in 1989 to chart a post-dictatorship transition; through Pinochet's arrest in London in 1998; the thirtieth anniversary, in 2003, of the coup that overthrew President Salvador Allende; and Pinochet's death in 2006. He shows how transnational events and networks shaped Chile's battles over memory, and how the Chilean case contributed to shifts in the world culture of human rights. Stern's analysis integrates policymaking by elites, grassroots efforts by human rights victims and activists, and inside accounts of the truth commissions and courts where top-down and bottom-up initiatives met. Interpreting solemn presidential speeches, raucous street protests, interviews, journalism, humor, cinema, and other sources, he describes the slow, imperfect, but surprisingly forceful advance of efforts to revive democratic values through public memory struggles, despite the power still wielded by the military and a conservative social base including the investor class. Over time, resourceful civil-society activists and select state actors won hard-fought, if limited, gains. As a result, Chileans were able to face the unwelcome past more honestly, launch the world's first truth commission to examine torture, ensnare high-level perpetrators in the web of criminal justice, and build a public culture of human rights. Stern provides an important conceptualization of collective memory in the wake of national trauma in this magisterial work of history.
