Combining the expertise of leading historians with the reflections of those who lived through 11 September 1973 and its aftermath, Chile Solidarity in Britain sheds light on the dangers of right-wing authoritarianism and on the possibilities for transnational civil society cooperation.

A long overdue and exceptional study, this carefully crafted book brings together compelling research and vivid testimonies to recover histories of Chile-UK solidarity, restoring their place in collective memory and demonstrating their relevance to urgent political struggles in the present.

Harmer and Livingstone's one-of-a-kind collection reconstructs the networks of internationalist solidarity that were built by Chilean exiles, key sectors of the British political left, and the British trade union movement following the violent ouster of Chile's democratically-elected socialist government in 1973. Critically, it also shows how that solidarity work set the stage for the arrest of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet in London in 1998. The book is a model for how to bring together important scholarly assessments of solidarity work with the voices and testimonies of those who comprised the movement, both Chilean and British nationals alike. It is an essential read for scholars and activists interested in global solidarity and human rights movements.
