From the 1920s to the nationalization of the Chilean copper mines in 1971, Chile Exploration Company (Chilex) a subsidiary of the U.S.-based Anaconda Copper Mining Company, was a major player in Chilean history, economy, and politics. It explores cultural constructions of the miner as the quintessential working man and examines ways in which images of mining and masculinity were variably appropriated, deployed, and contested by North American bosses, Chilean labor leaders, miners themselves, and women of the mining community Particular attention is paid to ways in which representations of masculinity coalesce and collide within a larger politics of identification involving race, class, citizenship, and nationality in the context of this powerful Yankee presence.
