DESCRIPTION:Much of what we know about being German in Chile from the late 
 19th century through the interwar period stems from the men who ran succes
 sful businesses in cities such as Osorno\, Santiago\, Valparaiso and Valdi
 via. Scholars frequently use them\, their associations and their instituti
 ons to highlight this immigrant community’s economic successes\, these m
 en’s professional skills and their contributions to the Chilean state. T
 he family letters circulating around Luise Rudloff in Valdivia during the 
 interwar period\, however\, tell us much more about how German-speaking Ch
 ileans negotiated multiple economic crises and opportunities\, national up
 heavals and geopolitical shifts. Most importantly\, they reveal the persis
 tence of shared mental maps among family members\, in which Europe\, Latin
  America and North America were intimately intertwined. Families were not 
 simply spread across these continents\, they all were living simultaneousl
 y on them\, tied into each other’s lives by correspondence that was mana
 ged and\, in some ways\, perpetuated by daughters\, grandmothers\, mothers
  and their children. That correspondence has the potential to upend our hi
 storical narratives of this tumultuous period. \n \n\nH. Glenn Penny is th
 e Henry J. Bruman Chair in German History at the University of California\
 , Los Angeles.\n\n \n\nFor Guest Parking at the Max Kade Center for this e
