Summary
Among general works covering this period, the best to date are (in English) Brian Loveman, Chile: The Legacy of Hispanic Capitalism, 2nd ed. (New York, 1988), chaps. 6–7, and Fredrick B. Pike, Chile and the United States 1880–1962 (Notre Dame, Ind., 1963) – much more comprehensive than its title suggests – and (in Spanish), Leopoldo Castedo, Resumen de la historia de Chile, 1891–1925 (Santiago, Chile, 1982), a brilliantly illustrated book. See also an ambitious work by Gonzalo Vial, Historia de Chile, 1891–1973 (Santiago, Chile, vol. 1 in two parts, 1981; vol. 2, 1983; vol. 3, 1987); the volumes published so far cover the period 1891–1925 in great detail.
The diplomatic history of the period is treated in Mario Barros, Historia diplomática de Chile, 1541–1938 (Barcelona, 1970); see also William F. Sater, Chile and the United States: Empires in Conflict (Athens, Ga., 1990), especially chaps. 3–5. Joyce Goldberg, The ‘Baltimore’ Affair (Lincoln, Nebr., 1986) capably dissects a briefly tense moment in Chile–U.S. relations at perhaps greater length than the ‘affair’ itself might seem to warrant.
Constitutional and political history of these years is stimulatingly covered in Julio Heise González, Historia de Chile: El período parlamentario, 1861–1925, 2 vols. (Santiago, Chile, 1974–82); published during the Pinochet dictatorship, these two volumes underscored the increasingly democratic content of Chile’s history in the period concerned. General works dealing with the social and economic dimensions include Arnold Bauer, Chilean Rural Society from the Spanish Conquest to 1930 (Cambridge, Eng., 1975), especially the later chapters; Brian Loveman, Struggle in the Countryside: Politics and Rural Labor in Chile, 1919-1913 (Bloomington, Ind., 1976)
