"Chile, the Golpe, and the Gringos" Or, The Power of Econo-Production at the Expense of Human Rights: The Violent Dawn of Neoliberalim
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The laws of impurity and the Latin taboo that silenced the pain of the Dirty Wars are unraveled by the arrest of Pinochet (2000) and the legal controversies in the courts of Britain, Spain, and Chile (2000-2006). Ignoring those taboos, the impunity laws and the waning of the political left in Latin America years before these events, Garcia Marquez documented the violent beginnings of Neoliberalism in his Nobel Prize speech, "Clandestine in Chile," "The Autumn of the Patriarch,"and his journalism. This paper examines the violent political and economic events that occurred in Chile before and after Allende's death, both in fact and in Garcia Marquez's journal article, "Chile, the Golpe, and the Gringos." Garcia Marquez pointed to the ultimate complication of unchecked corporate power which destroyed human rights and consumed the lives of thousands of "desapariecidos" under Pinochet.
