An important source for this period are reviews and magazines. The invaluable Mensaje provides a monthly mixture of political, economic and religious analysis. Panorama Económico is very useful on the economy. Qué Pasa is important for the politics of the right. Ercilla is an essential weekly news magazine for much of the period. The Ercilla journalists formed Hoy, after one of the many takeover deals of the Pinochet era brought Ercilla closer to the politics of the Pinochet government. Hoy is close to the PDC. Numerous other weekly magazines were intermittently affected by the capricious censorship of Pinochet’s Chile; amongst the best are APSI and Análisis.

Amongst the academic publications, Estudios CIEPLAN provides excellent critical analysis of the economy; and Estudios Públicos, a mixture of economic, political and philosophical analysis from the neo-classical right. The exile journal Chile América, published in Rome, is indispensable for the decade following the coup of 1973. Of the many publications that appeared during the Allende government, the Cuadernos de la Realidad Nacional, Chile Hoy and Revista EURE are important.

There are several useful bibliographical studies, including Arturo Valenzuela and J. Samuel Valenzuela, ‘Visions of Chile’, LARR, 10/3 (1975); William Sater, ‘A survey of recent Chilean historiography, 1965–1976’, LARR, 14/2 (1979); Paul Drake, ‘El impacto académico de los terremotos políticos: Investigaciones de la historia chilena en inglés, 1977–1983’, Alternativas (Santiago) (January-April 1984); Benny Pollack and Jean Grugel, ‘Chile before and after monetarism’, BLAR, 3/2, 1984; Lois Hecht Oppenheim, ‘The Chilean road to Socialism revisited’, LARR, 24/1 (1989).
