Salt In The Sand Is A Compelling Historical Ethnography Of The Interplay Between Memory And State Violence In The Formation Of The Chilean Nationstate. The Historian And Anthropologist Lessie Jo Frazier Focuses On Northern Chile, Which Figures Prominently In The Nations History As A Site Of Military Glory During The Period Of National Conquest, Of Labor Strikes And Massacres In The Late Nineteenth Century And Early Twentieth, And Of State Detention And Violence During World War Ii And The Cold War. It Was Also The Site Of A Massgrave Excavation That Galvanized The National Human Rights Movement In 1990, During Chiles Transition From Dictatorship To Democracy. Frazier Analyzes The Creation Of Official And Alternative Memories Of Specific Instances Of State Violence In Northern Chile From 1890 To The Present, Tracing How The Form And Content Of Those Memories Changed Over Time. In So Doing, She Shows How Memory Works To Create Political Subjectivities Mobilized For Specific Political Projects Within What She Argues Is The Alwaysongoing Process Of Nationstate Formation. Fraziers Broad Historical Perspective On Political Culture Challenges The Conventional Periodization Of Modern Chilean History, Particularly The Idea That The 1973 Military Coup Marked A Radical Break With The Past.Analyzing Multiple Memories Of State Violence, Frazier Innovatively Shapes Social And Cultural Theory To Interpret A Range Of Sources, Including Local And National Government Archives, Personal Papers, Popular Literature And Music, Interviews, Architectural And Ceremonial Commemorations, And Her Ethnographic Observations Of Civic Associations, Women'S And Environmental Groups, And Human Rights Organizations. A Masterful Integration Of Extensive Empirical Research With Sophisticated Theoretical Analysis, Salt In The Sand Is A Significant Contribution To Interdisciplinary Scholarship On Human Rights, Democratization, State Formation, And National Trauma And Reconciliation.
