Book excerpt: Intentionally written as a book for undergraduate students as well as a work of unique scholarship, Surviving Dictatorshipis also, both a visual sociology, and case study, that communicates the lived experience of poverty and powerlessness in an authoritarian society, that of Pinochet’s Chile. So powerful a shaper of the poor’s experience is a dictatorship, that one might add "degree of authoritarianism" as an additional dimension to the idea, conceived by Patricia Hill Collins, that race, class, and gender intersect to shape people’s lives. Useful for courses in social inequalities, poverty, and race/class/gender.
