Gabriel Salazar

Today I'm going to talk about Gabriel Salazar. He is a chilean historian, philosopher and sociologist from the Universidad de Chile and doctor of historical and social economics from the University of Hull, England

He is one of the founder of the new historiographical current "New Social History" and he won the national history price 2006.

He made a lot of important works like "Construcción del Estado en Chile", "En el nombre del poder popular constituyente", "La Historia desde abajo y desde adentro" just for name some. 

Being honest, I don't think he is the most important person for the public administration but he's really important to learn about the reality of our country focusing on the people. Gabriel Salazar is one of my favourite historian of Chile, because his studies focus on the popular subject and he makes interesting theories about the contingency of our country like political crises, democracy and indigence.
