Social movements and struggles in Chile. Interpellations from Social Work

Authors

  • Gloria Cáceres Julio Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso

Abstract

Social Work has a long history of linkage with the struggles and social movements at Latin American and national level, especially since the Reconceptualization period in Chile, which reached a great development during the Popular Unity government, with Salvador Allende at the head, and that despite the dark period of the civil-military dictatorship, sectors of the profession were linked to the groups, social movements and political parties that fought for the defense of democracy, life and human rights (civil, political and economic) of citizenship. On this path, that of retaking the thread that unites past, present and future, the authors of this text make visible the readings and actions-interventions in the different areas and territories that Chilean Social Work can or could have carried out.

Keywords:
