Manuel Suzarte, « ¡Vivan los hippies buenos! Tres yippies en el Chile de Salvador Allende », HAL-SHS : histoire, ID : 10.5433/1984-3356.2023v16n32p059-088
Salvador Allende's victory in 1970 was not only adetermining event in the Chilean national context, but alsohad a global echo, transforming the incipient experiment that sought to create a democratic pathway to socialism into anevent that captured the attention of militants from all over the world. Within this captive audience, three members of the US New Left, linked to the Yippie movement and disillusioned with the state of their struggles at home, decided to embark on a journey to experience the new Chile firsthand. Our article reconstructs this trip, with the aim of showing the particular interactions that each of the travelers had with the Chilean reality: the characteristics and limits of the Popular Unity project, culture as a constituent element of the project of change and the parallel development of the youth counterculture.
