Book Synopsis Jose Carlos Mariategui by : José Carlos Mariátegui
Download or read book Jose Carlos Mariategui written by José Carlos Mariátegui and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jose Carlos Mariategui is one of Latin America's most profound but overlooked thinkers. A self-taught journalist, social scientist, and activist from Peru, he was the first to emphasize that those fighting for the revolutionary transformation of society must adapt classical Marxist theory to the particular conditions of Latin American. He also stressed that indigenous peoples must take an active, if not leading, role in any revolutionary struggle. Today Latin America is the scene of great social upheaval. More progressive governments are in power than ever before, and grassroots movements of indigenous peoples, workers, and peasants are increasingly shaping the political landscape. The time is perfect for a rediscovery of Mariategui, who is considered an intellectual precursor of today's struggles in Latin America but virtually unknown in the English-speaking world. This volume collects his essential writings, including many that have never been translated and some that have never been published. The scope of this collection, masterful translation, and thoughtful commentary make it an essential book for scholars of Latin America and all of those fighting for a new world, waiting to be born."

Book Synopsis Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality by : José Carlos Mariátegui
Download or read book Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality written by José Carlos Mariátegui and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Once again I repeat that I am not an impartial; objective critic. My judgments are nourished by my ideals, my sentiments, my passions. I have an avowed and resolute ambition: to assist in the creation of Peruvian socialism. I am far removed from the academic techniques of the university."—From the Author's Note Jose Carlos Mariátegui was one of the leading South American social philosophers of the early twentieth century. He identified the future of Peru with the welfare of the Indian at a time when similar ideas were beginning to develop in Middle America and the Andean region. Generations of Peruvian and other Latin American social thinkers have been profoundly influenced by his writings. Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality (Siete ensayos de interpretación de la realidad peruana), first published in 1928, is Mariátegui's major statement of his position and has gone into many editions, not only in Peru but also in other Latin American countries. The topics discussed in the essays—economic evolution, the problem of the Indian, the land problem, public education, the religious factor, regionalism and centralism, and the literary process—are in many respects as relevant today as when the book was written. Mariátegui's thinking was strongly tinged with Marxism. Because contemporary sociology, anthropology, and economics have been influenced by Marxism much more in Latin America than in North America, it is important that North Americans become more aware of Mariátegui's position and accord it its proper historical significance. Jorge Basadre, the distinguished Peruvian historian, in an introduction written especially for this translation, provides an account of Mariátegui's life and describes the political and intellectual climate in which these essays were written.

Book Synopsis Mariátegui and Latin American Marxist Theory by : Marc Becker
Download or read book Mariátegui and Latin American Marxist Theory written by Marc Becker and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: José Carlos Mariátegui, the Peruvian political theorist of the 1920s, was instrumental in developing an indigenous Latin American revolutionary Marxist theory. He rejected a rigid, orthodox interpretation of Marxism and applied his own creative elements, which he believed could move a society to revolutionary action without the society having to depend upon more traditional economic factors. His interpretation of Peruvian history had a profound effect upon subsequent social movements throughout Latin America. This volume reviews the essential elements of Mariátegui's thought and important influences on his intellectual development. It demonstrates the role he played in defining a Latin american identity, the nature of his intellectual contribution to the development of indigenous revolutionary movements in Latin America, and the inflluence he had on successful revolutionary movements in Cuba and Nicaragua. An understanding of Mariátegui's thought is fundamental to understanding the nature of revolutionary changes in Latin America.

Book Synopsis The Political Theory of Che Guevara by : Renzo Llorente
Download or read book The Political Theory of Che Guevara written by Renzo Llorente and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly half a century after his death, Ernesto “Che” Guevara remains a compelling and controversial figure. He was an original social theorist, and many of his writings attest to an innovative interpretation of various concepts and commitments central to Marxist thought. This is one of the first works to comprehensively consider his contribution to social and political theory for a student audience. Firstly, the book provides thorough and reliable accounts of the key theses, concepts and commitments that give Che Guevara’s theoretical, and political, orientation its distinctive character. It addresses Guevara’s views on topics such as work, morality in socialism, egalitarianism, prefigurative politics, internationalism, and the process of “disembourgeoisement”. Secondly, the study situates Guevara’s ideas within the context of the Marxist theoretical tradition and, on the other hand, twentieth-century Latin American social thought. To this end, it will explore both the affinities and dissimilarities between Guevara's views on certain fundamental questions and the views represented by such figures as Marx, Lenin, Herbert Marcuse and José Carlos Mariátegui. Finally, The Political Thought of Che Guevara will provide critical assessments of Che’s key ideas, many of which remain relevant to contemporary debates in socialist theory.

Book Synopsis Siete Ensayos de Interpretación de la Realidad Peruana by : José Mariátegui
Download or read book Siete Ensayos de Interpretación de la Realidad Peruana written by José Mariátegui and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: José Carlos Mariátegui, (1895-1930), fue un escritor Peruano y líder político de renombre mundial. Aunque sus origines son humildes, su carrera lo llevo a las más altura de la intelectualidad. Comenzando a trabajar a los 14 años de edad -como alcanza-rejones en un periódico- llegó a ser periodista de los principales diarios de Lima: La Prensa, El Tiempo, y La Razón. Autodidacta, pronto llego a convencerse que la doctrina marxista era la adecuada para sacar a su patria del marasmo social, económico, cultural, y espiritual que lo condenaba a una abyecta pobreza. Sus viajes por Europa, le confirmaron su fe en el marxismo. Cuando regreso al Perú, junto con el pensador y activista político Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre (fundador del partido APRA), ambos asumieron el liderazgo político de los años 1920s. Acerca de los Siete ensayos Estos ensayos calan profundo, dado el enfoque marxista muy poco asimilado -por entonces- en las letras de Sudamérica. Los Siete Ensayos tocan la urdimbre nerviosa del Perú, auscultando síntomas, analizando curas paliativas y muchas veces erróneas, para al fin dejar en claro que aunque las soluciones son inconclusas, por lo menos podrían dar un impulso a la mejoría del país. Los problemas que Mariátegui trata son: 1) Esquema de la evolución económica; 2) El problema del indio; 3) El problema de la tierra; 4) El proceso de la instrucción pública; 5) El factor religioso; 6) Regionalismo y centralismo; y 7) El proceso de la literatura.
