Chile’s missing past

We recently visited a few history museums in Santiago. It was strange to notice we didn’t find anything after 1973, just if the period after Pinochet came into power would not exist. Every official notice seems to agree that the country went into near chaos in the early 1970s. But nobody seems to know what happened after 1973. My spanish teacher – who has been able to give some light to the issues – said that chilean people are apolitical these days. Ask about social stuff and they put on their TV to watch local soccer, american soap or the national channel’s nightly sex talk show (featuring ‘cool’-looking gray men in their fifties). I can’t believe they’re having fun.
