Summary
"This book on Chile and Australia represents a key contribution in the socio-historical, cultural and socio-discursive fields from the South and within the South. Exploring bilateral narratives of identity at a socio-discursive level from 1990 onwards, it provides a new approach to understanding how Chile and Australia imagine and discursively construct each other in light of the bilateral Free Trade Agreement signed in 2008. Irene Strodthoff maintains that the dominant discourse of each nation around economic progress and regional exceptionality has led to a closer approach between these two countries, albeit in a context of bilateral asymmetries and internal fissures regarding national cohesion"--
