5. Pertinent works in addition to the Espinosa-Zimbalist study and the literature cited therein include: Michel Raptis, Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Chile: A Dossier on Workers' Participation in the Revolutionary Process (London: Allison & Busby, 1974), which includes the text of the “Basic Norms of Participation”; Peter Winn, “Loosing the Chains: Labor and the Chilean Revolutionary Process, 1970-1973,” Latin American Perspectives 3, 1 (Winter 1976):70-84; and Gabriel Smirnow, The Revolution Disarmed: Chile, 1970-1973 (New York: Monthly Review Press, 1979), especially chap. 6.
