PARA LEER EN EL METRO Y OTRAS NAVES
Siempre, el metro será blanco y no naranja como algunos suelen asimilarlo. Será blanco de historias, de fantasías, de interminables anécdotas en las que sólo, quienes hayan merodeado lo bastante en sus instalaciones, podrán discernir la confusión incipiente entre lo real o en su defecto, lo imaginario que igualmente llegará a ser ostensible en la medida que pasen las horas en sus inmediaciones... en su vientre. Cada estación de metro y cada vagón en las diversas metrópolis mundiales, tiene más historias que los millones de personas que transporta. Si sabemos que cada individuo tiene una leyenda o quizá dos... Los cuentos de este libro, son parte de esa historia. Vidas completas en el subterráneo, dan cuenta de ello...

A fascinating historical examination of the Santiago Metro system as a microcosm of Chilean national identity during the twentieth century The Santiago Metro, the largest urban infrastructure project in Chile’s history, was designed in the 1960s in response to rapid urban growth. Despite the upheavals of Salvador Allende’s democratic socialism (1970–1973) and Augusto Pinochet’s military dictatorship (1973–1990), the project survived and is now the largest metro system in South America. What explains its success? How did its meaning shift under democracy and dictatorship? What does its history reveal about struggles for a more just city? Drawing on Chilean and French archives, Andra B. Chastain demonstrates that Chilean-French relations and French financing were crucial to the project’s survival during the Cold War. The Metro’s history also illuminates the contested process of implementing neoliberalism and the unexpected continuities of state planning and visions for a rational city that persisted despite free-market reforms. Most important, this story shows that the Metro came to symbolize the nation and became a critical site where planners, workers, and urban residents contested Chile’s path to modernity.
