It is next to impossible to engage effectively with Chilean culture without understanding some basic elements of Chile's political history. A great introduction to the topic can be found in this hour-long lecture by Daniel Sparler, a Humanities and Language teacher at The Northwest School in Seattle, Washington. Sparler gave this lecture preceding a theater production of Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits to provide his students the necessary background to understand the play.
