The Chilean Neoliberal Model and its Implications for Education and Culture, Doormats No. 3
By Valentina Montero.
Chilean journalist and independent curator Valentina Montero (born 1973) left her native country five years ago, relocating to Europe just in time for the continent’s financial crisis. “I felt myself not only as someone coming from the end of the world, but also as someone coming from the future,” she writes in By Reason or By Force. “In Chile the neoliberal model made its first roots over 25 years ago, leaving deep scars in a society […] characterized by individualism, consumption, defeat and depoliticization of citizens’ movements.” In this book, Montero outlines some of the milestone events and moments that led to Chile’s advanced neoliberalism, and its effects upon education and culture, detecting signs of hope in the lively student movement that emerged in 2011. By Reason or By Force is the third publication in Errant Bodies’ Doormats series, which tackles issues of particularly urgent topicality.
