task 6: the best in your area

In my opinion, one of the best in my field, the social sciences, is a historian, the chilean Gabriel Salazar.

I like him, because has a very intresting viewpoint about the politic an social historiography in Chile.

He is graduate in history, in the Universidad de Chile. Today, works in the history area, in many universities, and is a History of National Award. His Princial input is the creation of the New Social History, a branch of historiography that study the popular subject and the lowe clases in chile. Among his main contributions, highlights his studies about the populat subject in the XIX century, and his reseach about the social movements in the XX century.

I think that he is a man with a strong compromise with the chilean reality, the history, the politic and the society.

I like him, principaly, because he is a defensor of the history of the chilean popular sectors. His work attemp discover and reconstruct the politician and popular project of the displaced and exploited masses in Chile.


So, he try to embed, comprehend and incorporate to the otherness that has been historically excluded.
