商品簡介
Chile ribbons its way 2,700 miles down the southwestern coast of the South American continent. Yet at no point is it more than one hundred and fifty miles wide. It is a land of contrast and surprise, flanked by the Pacific Ocean on the west; hemmed in by the Andes to the east; the forbidding salt basins of the Atacama Desert to the north; with a verdant and serenely beautiful Central Valley; and Cape Horn, a forlorn and storm-buffeted headland, at its southern extremity. The Chilean people, too, are surprising: on one hand reserved, family-oriented, Catholic, and conservative; and on the other fun-loving, entrepreneurial, neoliberal, and modern. Their geographical isolation from the rest of the world; their colonial past; and the near twenty years of repression under the military dictatorship of General Pinochet have had a profound influence on their character. More sober and restrained than other Latin Americans, they are proud, reserved, and almost mistrustful at first, but open up with time to reveal a sincere and hospitable nature. Today, traditional Chilean values are being questioned by the younger generation, and contrast with the efficiency, flexibility, and openness of the modern society. In fact, the country’s position as the Latin American stronghold of Catholicism is being challenged by Chileans of all generations, and pressure has led to unprecedented changes in family and censorship law. Chile controls the world’s largest copper reserves. It is one of the fastest-growing economies in South America, and many renowned international companies are represented in its capital, Santiago. Thanks to ambitious structural reforms, it has sharply reduced its poverty rate in the past few years. Culture Smart! Chile provides vital information on what to expect and how to behave in a complex and dynamic society that is in the process of redefining itself. Get past their reserve, and you will discover for yourself the warmth, principled determination, and generosity of the Chilean people.
