Gabriel Salazar



Hi teacher and classmates, This week I’m going to talk about an expert of my field and that person is Gabriel Salazar, a historian, academic and researcher.
He was born on January of 1936 in Santiago. He studied at Liceo de Aplicación. Then he studied Philosophy at Universidad de Chile. After the coup he was detained and took to a detention center in Villa Grimaldi and after that he fled into exile Great Britain, where he received a Doctoral on economic and social history on the University of Hull. The he came back to Chile in 1985.
In 2006 he was awarded the National Prize in History. Today he is working as Historic Professor at the Universidad de Chile.
Gabriel Salazar is one of the fundators of the historiographical called the New Social History. Some of his most famous works are: (2006) Ser niño "huacho" en la historia de Chile (siglo XIX), (2008) Memorias de un Peón-Gañán Memorias de Benito Salazar Orellana; Gabriel Salazar (Editor), (2011) En el nombre del Poder Popular Constituyente (Chile, siglo XXI).
I admire the Professor Gabriel Salazar because he give a different vision of the history. He demystify history facts and an emblem characters of the history of Chile. His arguments are very interesting. I enjoy his classes and I always learn something remarkably in them.
Regards! (:

  4. Good Guisela.

    It´s important that you watch your verbs:

    "He was taken", "he flew".

    Also vocabulary. "He is a History teacher", "he is one of the founders"

    Be careful here:

    "I admire (the) Professor Gabriel Salazar because he giveS a different (vision) VIEW TO (of the) history. He demystifIES historICAL facts and (an) emblemATIC characters of the history of Chile. His arguments are very interesting. I enjoy his classes and I always learn something (remarkably) REMARKABLE in them.

    1 POINT (because you posted on Saturday)
