Influenced by anarchism and especially by anarcho-syndicalist Georges Sorel, the political praxis of Peruvian activist and scholar José Carlos Mariátegui (1894-1930) deviated from the policies mandated by the Comintern. Mariátegui saw only new subjectivities as capable of making a revolution that would not recreate bourgeois or fascist structures. For Mariátegui, a new society required a new culture. He therefore not only founded the Peruvian Socialist Party, but also created Amauta, a magazine that brought together the writings of the political and cultural avant-gardes. Thus, in addition to studying Mariátegui's views on the political valence of cultural habits and products, Bread and Beauty looks at the cultural underpinnings of the political proposals found in his writings and actions.

Contrapunto ideológico y perspectivas dramatúrgicas en el Perú contemporáneo, el tomo seis de Historia de las literaturas en el Perú, se ocupa de géneros disímiles pero centrales para toda tradición literaria: la escritura teatral, el ensayo, la crítica literaria y la autobiografía. Como indica el título, en el periodo estudiado —que abarca el siglo XX e incluye algunos textos de inicios del siglo XXI—, la sociedad peruana ha sufrido evoluciones y cambios vertiginosos. Desde una perspectiva cronológica, Contrapunto ideológico y perspectivas dramatúrgicas en el Perú contemporáneo comienza estudiando a autores que escriben durante la República Aristocrática, como el dramaturgo cusqueño Nicanor Jara (1872-1960) o el historiador y crítico José de la Riva Agüero (1885- 1944), y concluye en nuestros días, revisando la obra testimonial de Lurgio Gavilán (1974-) o el teatro de Claudia Sacha (1976-).

Unarguably the greatest active Spanish language novelist, Mario Vargas Llosa was rewarded with the Nobel Prize in 2010 for, in the Swedish Academy’s words, "for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat.” Beginning with Time of the Hero (1963), the searing virtuoso modernist portrayal of the Leoncio Prado military school, which he had in fact attended, to the recent El héroe discreto (The Discrete Hero) (2013), which presents an optimistic vision of his contemporary native Peru, Vargas Llosa has created an unusually vivid and complex fresco of his country’s twentieth and twenty first century’s political and social evolution. Vargas Llosa has also compellingly portrayed a peasant rebellion in 19th century Brazil in his masterwork The War of the End of the World (1983), the brutal regime of Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo in his The Feast of the Goat (2000), Flora Tristan’s and her grandson Paul Gauguin’s search for political and artistic utopias in The Way to Paradise (2003), and the personal and political struggles of English diplomat and Irish independence activist Roger Casement in The Dream of the Celt (2010).

This volume, edited by Juan E De Castro, Associate Professor at Eugene Lang College, The New School for Liberal Arts, includes essays by some of the best-known Vargas Llosa scholars. The articles not only provide an introduction to the Nobel Prize winner’s novels and essays, they also trace his artistic and political evolution, and place his works in their historical and cultural context. The contributors are respected Vargas Llosa scholars and include Mark D. Anderson, Gene Bell-Villada, Nicholas Birns, Jeffrey Browitt, Sara Castro-Klarén, Will H. Corral, Alonso Cueto, Carlos Granés, Ignacio López-Calvo, Jean O’Bryan-Knight, Miguel Rivera-Taupier, Haqing Sun, and Raymond L. Williams.

Each essay is 2,500 to 5,000 words in length, and all essays conclude with a list of "Works Cited," along with endnotes. Finally, the volume's appendixes offer a section of useful reference resources:

A chronology of the author's life

A complete list of the author's works and their original dates of publication

A general bibliography

A detailed paragraph on the volume's editor

Notes on the individual chapter authors

Written from diverse perspectives, the eleven essays that make up Vargas Llosa and Latin American Politics portray the Peruvian novelist not only as one of the most celebrated writers of the last 50 years, but also as a central influence on the region’s political evolution. Ever since his conversion to free market ideology in the 1980s, Mario Vargas Llosa has waged public battle against what he believes are the scourges of socialism and populism. This book studies the fiction and journalism of Vargas Llosa in the context of his political thought.

Focusing on the discourse of mestizaje—which proposes the creation of a homogenous culture out of American Indian, black, and Iberian elements—Mestizo Nations examines a selection of texts that represent the entire history and regional landscape of Latin American culture in its Western, indigenous, and neo-African traditions from Independence to the present. Through them, Mestizo Nations delineates some of the ambiguities and contradictions that have beset this discourse.
