Influenced by anarchism and especially by anarcho-syndicalist
Georges Sorel, the political praxis of Peruvian activist and
scholar Jose Carlos Mariategui (1894-1930) deviated from the
policies mandated by the Comintern. Mariategui saw only new
subjectivities as capable of making a revolution that would not
recreate bourgeois or fascist structures. For Mariategui, 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. This landmark book both examines Mariategui's views
on the political valence of cultural habits and products and
assesses the cultural underpinnings of the political proposals
found in his writings and actions.
