It analyses Chileans’ collective memory of the Pinochet regime and the role of contemporary opponents to the advancement of human rights. The volume brings together original pieces from contributors connected to Alan Angell, Oxford University's Latin American Centre and the UK more broadly through their studies, research and personal histories. Among the book’s authors are two of President Gabriel Boric’s former ministers, one of whom is also a former president of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Through its unique structure, timing and thematic approach, the book will be of great relevance to students and scholars with an interest in transitional justice in the contemporary Chilean context. Valentina Infante Batiste is a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Social Conflict and Cohesion Studies (COES), and VioDemos Millennium Institute, Chile. Her research focuses on cultural memory and difficult heritage in Chile. Richard D. Wilkinson is a researcher in Politics at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK. His research focuses on non-programmatic politics and political trust at the municipal level in Chile. 1. Memories of Living in Pinochet’s Chile -- 2.
