With a blend of irony and sarcastic humor, Marco Antonio de la Parra exposes his audience to a nostalgic way of thinking about Chile's new image as a postdictatorial country. In La pequeña historia de Chile, history teachers of a forgotten school reconsider the issues of historical memory, culture, identity and the future of their society in a place where a neoliberal economy has blinded the recent generations. This essay analyzes the role of memory, history and the identity of Chile and its citizenry within the framework of globalization theories.
