Description
Citizenship and Disadvantaged Groups in Chile seeks to overcome an existing void in the literature of Latin American studies addressing the impact of Chile’s post dictatorial legal framework on its historically and structurally disadvantaged groups, concentrating on the various issues and challenges that affect them. Within its eleven chapters it explores the changing social and legal status of LGBTI people, the political disenfranchisement and the social exclusion that affects imprisoned individuals, the harshness of policing on poor and marginalized communities, the deprivation of indigenous peoples of meaningful rights, the vulnerability that affects workers as a consequence of the existing model of labor relations, the disenfranchisement that affects migrants seeking economic opportunities, the denial of citizenship to women involved in the prohibition of abortion, the unsatisfactory regulation of sex work, the prevalence of domestic violence, and the absence of adequate means for disadvantaged groups to institutionalize their political representation. This book offers a distinctive contribution, focusing on a specific country in the Global South that is presently undergoing a process of economic consolidation while facing many of the problems of traditional and unequal Latin American societies.

Reviews

This is an impressive book. A must read for all those interested in knowing more about the challenges confronted by disadvantaged groups in Chile, and particularly for those who want to study the subject from a legal perspective. The book brings together the analysis of young and prominent social scientists offering lucid and critical approaches to the topic.

The book offers a highly readable empirical account of feminist, LGTB, indigenous, and workers' political struggles in Chile, combined with a clear and accessible theoretical reflection on the idea of citizenship and the roots of the Chilean constitution. It is a privileged window for the world to look into Chilean society, and an inspiration for academics in Spanish speaking countries where no such window exists.
Paula Casal, Universitat Pompeu Fabra

This book introduces some of the main issues of social movements' agendas in a critical, informed, and convincing manner. It should be of interest to all those who are interested in what is happening in Chile in general in matters of human rights and for those who are interested in specific issues such as gender, multiculturalism and poverty. Without a doubt a great contribution.
Fernando Atria, Universidad de Chile
