José Carlos Mariátegui was a Peruvian communist whose magnum opus, Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, marked a sea change in the Latin American intellectual field. His historical and dialectical materialist analysis of the conditions in Peru, especially on the topics of economic development and the oppression of Indigenous communities, defined the next century of communist agitation throughout the continent. The term Sendero Luminoso, used to refer to the Communist Party of Peru (though they never adopted the name themselves), comes from Mariátegui’s writings. The PCP (Partido Comunista del Perú) counts Mariátegui as one of its principal intellectual forebears, and his work continues to loom large in Latin America and throughout the diaspora. Listen to Public Education, the fourth of the eponymous seven essays, here.
