El Toqui Pelantaru, guerrero de la conquista

Set in Chile, this is the true story of Miguel Litten, a Chilean film director who returned to his native land with a false passport, false name, false past and false wife - as told in 18 hours of taped interviews to the author. What kind of man trades his own identity for an invented one?

"Very good work of 20th century social history draws on photographs, life histories, and documents to analyze patterns of gender differentiation and work on large rural farms"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

"Carefully researched study of the economic impact of the Chilean occupation of Lima during the War of the Pacific. Looks at banking and the roles of emerging Spanish and Chinese merchants. Concludes that the economic 'ruin' of Lima by the end of the occupation was nearly complete. Suggests that the economic issues of the Chilean occupation were so profound that they played a significant role in delaying the final settlement of the War of the Pacific claims until 1929"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
