Civil Obedience: Complicity and Complacency in Chile since Pinochet (University of Wisconsin Press, Spring 2017). Michael J. Lazzara, associate professor of Spanish, argues that today's Chile is a product of both complicity and complacency. Combining historical analysis with deft literary, political, and cultural critique, he scrutinizes the post-Pinochet rationalizations made by politicians, artists, intellectuals, bystanders, former revolutionaries-turned-neoliberals, and common citizens.

Professor Lazzara received his Ph.D. from Princeton University. His research areas include contemporary Latin American Literature and Cultural Studies, Politics of the Southern Cone, Revolutions, Dictatorships and Transitions to Democracy to name a few. Some of his other works are 'Latin American Documentary Film in the New Millennium' , 'Special Issue of Radical History Review' and 'Chile in Transition'.
