La construcción del conocimiento histórico
La construcción del conocimiento histórico. Errata y bricolaje de la Historia, reconstruye y comenta, en su primera parte, las peripecias seguidas en la elaboración del conocimiento en el campo de la Historia, proceso sin horizontes y de ahí su caracterización como errata, y, en función de los humores cambiantes de la coyuntura y de las modas académicas de la disciplina, por lo tanto como un bricolaje. El mensaje que nos transmite Heraclio Bonilla en esta sección inicial es que es necesario repensar la Historia, rescatar lo mejor de cada tradición, a fin de construir un tipo de análisis a la altura de las exigencias del presente. La segunda parte es una propuesta de análisis de la complejidad histórica de la región andina, en su unidad y en su diversidad. Así, trata de ir más allá de los esencialismos vigentes para pensar esta realidad a partir de las principales coordenadas de su configuración y de su cambio. La primera edición de este libro fue publicada por la Universidad Nacional de Colombia en el año 2014 y se agotó en pocos meses. Heraclio Bonilla en esta segunda edición hace un agregado extenso en lo que corresponde a la revisión de la historiografía.
Slavery and Utopia
In the first half of the twentieth century, a charismatic Peruvian Amazonian indigenous chief, José Carlos Amaringo Chico, played a key role in leading his people, the Ashaninka, through the chaos generated by the collapse of the rubber economy in 1910 and the subsequent pressures of colonists, missionaries, and government officials to assimilate them into the national society. Slavery and Utopia reconstructs the life and political trajectory of this leader whom the people called Tasorentsi, the name the Ashaninka give to the world-transforming gods and divine emissaries that come to this earth to aid the Ashaninka in times of crisis. Fernando Santos-Granero follows Tasorentsi’s transform...
Peru and the International Monetary Fund
Thomas Scheetz shows that the Internationaly Monetary Fund's approach in 1980s Peru did not addresses the roots of debt and financial crisis, but instead has instituted inadequate stopgap policies, which have caused great inequities because of incorrect or biased assumptions. He argues that policies to eliminate "excess demand" in fact harm the poor, and the support the rich.
Resistance, Rebellion, and Consciousness in the Andean Peasant World, 18th to 20th Centuries
In The Postcolonial State in Africa, Crawford Young offers an informed and authoritative comparative overview of fifty years of African independence, drawing on his decades of research and first-hand experience on the African continent. Young identifies three cycles of hope and disappointment common to many of the African states (including those in North Africa) over the last half-century: initial euphoria at independence in the 1960s followed by disillusionment with a lapse into single-party autocracies and military rule; a period of renewed confidence, radicalization, and ambitious state expansion in the 1970s preceding state crisis and even failure in the disastrous 1980s; and a phase of ...
Smoldering Ashes
In Smoldering Ashes Charles F. Walker interprets the end of Spanish domination in Peru and that country’s shaky transition to an autonomous republican state. Placing the indigenous population at the center of his analysis, Walker shows how the Indian peasants played a crucial and previously unacknowledged role in the battle against colonialism and in the political clashes of the early republican period. With its focus on Cuzco, the former capital of the Inca Empire, Smoldering Ashes highlights the promises and frustrations of a critical period whose long shadow remains cast on modern Peru. Peru’s Indian majority and non-Indian elite were both opposed to Spanish rule, and both groups part...
Deconstructing Legitimacy
The overthrow of Viceroy Joaqu&ín de la Pezuela on 29 January 1821 has not received much attention from historians, who have viewed it as a simple military uprising. Yet in this careful study of the episode, based on deep archival research, Patricia Marks reveals it to be the culmination of decades of Peruvian opposition to the Bourbon reforms of the late eighteenth century, especially the Reglamento de comercio libre of 1778. It also marked a radical change in political culture brought about by the constitutional upheavals that followed Napolean's invasion of Spain. Although Pezuela's overthrow was organized and carried out by royalists among the merchants and the military, it proved to be an important event in the development of the independence movement as well as a pivotal factor in the failure to establish a stable national state in post-independence Peru. The golpe de estado may thereby be seen as an early manifestation of Latin American praetorianism, in which a sector of the civilian population, unable to prevail politically and unwilling to compromise, pressures army officers to act in order to &"save&" the state.
