Chilean New Song and the Question of Culture in the Allende Government analyzes a very interesting aspect of the revolutionary process experienced in Chile between 1970 and 1973, during the government of Salvador Allende. The relationship between political process, cultural politics, and the Chilean New Song movement is addressed through an analysis of the official programs, the discourses of the cultural actors, the real cultural practices, and the poetic-musical production of the works and songs of the Chilean New Song.
