the person who admire


The person who I admire is Gabriel Salazar, he is a chilean historian. One of the most important in contemporary social and political historiagraphy. He was born in santiago, in 1936. He study his secundary in the Liceo de Aplicación and then study history, sociology and philosophy at the same time in the University of Chile. In 1970 he was part of MIR but then for the dictatorship he was arrested and exiled.
Their contribution to the chilean historiography is being one of the most exponent of social history, branch who is about the popular subject and social events. His most important studies are about the social subject in the XIX century and social movements in XX century. Furthermore Salazar is one of creators of the “NEW SOCIAL HISTORY”. In 2006 he won the Premio Nacional de Historia.
I like salazar because thier studies are about the popular subject, and normaly the historiagraphy do not interested in them. Also he wrote about the social facts that i think are esencial in the history of our country because are made by the real social actors.
