Throughout, the most striking aspects of the protests were the murals, graffiti, and other political graphics that became ubiquitous in Chilean cities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Authors Terri Gordon-Zolov and Eric Zolov were in Santiago to witness and document the protests from their very beginning. The book is beautifully illustrated with over 150 photographs taken throughout the protests. Additional photos will be available on the publisher's website.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eFrom the introduction: \u003cbr\u003e In the conclusion, we take stock of the crisis of the nation-state in the contemporary era. This chapter brings events into the present moment, noting the ways President Pira took advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to reclaim the streets of Santiago, a phenomenon echoed in countries across the globe. While most of the global protest movements were forced to go underground (or into the ether), the Black Lives Matter movement surged in the United States and drew massive amounts of support both domestically and abroad, suggesting a continued wave of grassroots protests. We close with reflections on the continued relevance of walls in a virtual world, the testimonial role that protest graphics play, and the future outlook for revolutionary movements in Chile and worldwide.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terri Gordon-Zolov, Eric Zolov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800733224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800733220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 8.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Terri Gordon-Zolov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054284796159,"sku":"9781800733220","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b41e62e-f41f-4cdd-b291-4f832d7621a8.jpg?v=1685029070","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-walls-of-santiago-terri-gordon-zolov-9781800733220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
