Book Synopsis The Return of Epidemics by : Marcos Cueto
Download or read book The Return of Epidemics written by Marcos Cueto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have long recognized epidemics to be a significant, though sometimes hidden, factor in the fortunes of societies and civilizations. The study of epidemics heightens our understanding of relationships between economic systems and living conditions. It illuminates the ideologies and religious beliefs of the affected community and illustrates the efforts and inadequacies of public health systems. This investigation of the history of epidemics in various parts of Peru during the twentieth century opens up a new field for Latin American studies to include health and disease. These are important areas of the past that enable us to understand better the living conditions of people, the role of state authority and the dynamics of social movement. Marcos Cueto examines five series of epidemics: the bubonic plague of 1903-1930; the fever epidemic of 1919-1922; the typhus and small pox epidemics in the Andes; attempts to control and eradicate malaria, and the cholera epidemics of 1991. In each case he studies the biological and ecological factors that caused the outbreak, and the techniques and policies applied to fight it, together with the response of the affected society. The experience of epidemics in Peru has been cyclical. Poverty breeds disease which in turn results in further poverty. One of the aims of this study is to highlight areas of success and failure in the fight against epidemics in the hope that such awareness may help break this vicious circle.
Download or read book Making Machu Picchu written by Mark Rice and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-08-17 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking at a 1913 National Geographic Society gala, Hiram Bingham III, the American explorer celebrated for finding the "lost city" of the Andes two years earlier, suggested that Machu Picchu "is an awful name, but it is well worth remembering." Millions of travelers have since followed Bingham's advice. When Bingham first encountered Machu Picchu, the site was an obscure ruin. Now designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Machu Picchu is the focus of Peru's tourism economy. Mark Rice's history of Machu Picchu in the twentieth century—from its "discovery" to today's travel boom—reveals how Machu Picchu was transformed into both a global travel destination and a powerful symbol of the Peruvian nation. Rice shows how the growth of tourism at Machu Picchu swayed Peruvian leaders to celebrate Andean culture as compatible with their vision of a modernizing nation. Encompassing debates about nationalism, Indigenous peoples' experiences, and cultural policy—as well as development and globalization—the book explores the contradictions and ironies of Machu Picchu's transformation. On a broader level, it calls attention to the importance of tourism in the creation of national identity in Peru and Latin America as a whole.

Book Synopsis Haya de la Torre and the Pursuit of Power in Twentieth-Century Peru and Latin America by : Iñigo García-Bryce
Download or read book Haya de la Torre and the Pursuit of Power in Twentieth-Century Peru and Latin America written by Iñigo García-Bryce and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, Peruvian Victor Raul Haya de la Torre (1895–1979) was one of Latin America's key revolutionary leaders, well known across national boundaries. Inigo Garcia-Bryce's biography of Haya chronicles his dramatic political odyssey as founder of the highly influential American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA), as a political theorist whose philosophy shifted gradually from Marxism to democracy, and as a seasoned opposition figure repeatedly jailed and exiled by his own government. Garcia-Bryce spotlights Haya's devotion to forging populism as a political style applicable on both the left and the right, and to his vision of a pan-Latin American political movement. A great orator who addressed gatherings of thousands of Peruvians, Haya fired up the Aprismo movement, seeking to develop "Indo-America" by promoting the rights of Indigenous peoples as well as laborers and women. Steering his party toward the center of the political spectrum through most of the Cold War, Haya was elected president in 1962—but he was blocked from assuming office by the military, which played on his rumored homosexuality. Even so, Haya's insistence that political parties must cultivate Indigenous roots and oppose violence as a means of achieving political power has left a powerful legacy across Latin America.

Book Synopsis Peru of the Twentieth Century (Classic Reprint) by : Percy Falcke Martin
Download or read book Peru of the Twentieth Century (Classic Reprint) written by Percy Falcke Martin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peru of the Twentieth Century I do not wish any expectation to be aroused which cannot be realized; and, therefore, let me at the outset indicate to my readers what they will not find within these pages. Firstly, they will seek in vain for any lengthy reference to Ancient Peru. Other writers, far more capable than I, have dealt with this fas cinating subject, and the list of works upon the Land of the Incas is so ample that the market may be considered as sufficiently, if not over, supplied. Secondly, I have carefully refrained from indulging in political history for two reasons: (1) I am inclined to agree with the dear old pessimist, Voltaire, that history being little else than a picture of human crimes and misfortunes, it would be out of place in a book which is pri marily intended to be useful to the traveller, the merchant, and the financier; (2) I consider it little less than an international impertinence, as Bismarck designated the Monroe Doctrine, for foreigners to discuss and comment upon the internal affairs of the countries in which they may happen to find them selves, either temporarily or permanently, located. I have not hesitated to comment, on the other hand, upon our own politics, so far as they relate to our commercial relations with Peru and other South American countries; because I have found that there are conditions confronting us as a nation which cannot, and should not, be passed by without some reference. I know neither politics nor prejudices; but I have a country - a country of which I am not only very fond, but very proud. I want to see that country maintain her place in the front rank of the com mercial and industrial world; to march always as leader, and not as a humble follower. My anxiety is to awaken some interest among the thinkers in Great Britain, by showing to them - as far as my modest abilities will permit - some of the many diplomatic errors which our responsible rulers, of both political parties alike, have committed, and to assist in urging the demand that these errors be no longer perpetuated.
