Los años de Leguía (1919-1930)
Empires of the Dead
Chris Heaney has written a remarkable study of Andean mummies from the fourteenth century or so until today. Understood by the Incas and other civilizations as immortal ancestors, by the Spanish colonizers as a frustratingly thorny spoil of victory, and by scientists and museums as an indispensable piece of the human puzzle, these live remains have prompted enduring and fascinating controversies and clashes since the conquest. In fact, they seem …

Andean Truths
A charitable interpretation of Andean Truths would proclaim that Anne Lambright has written two books. At the core, she provides a fine analysis of the diverse ways that individuals and communities processed, commemorated, or remembered the gruesome violence of Peru from 1980 to 1992, when the Shining Path and the Peruvian state outdid one another in human rights violations. She examines cinema, literature, theater, and art (individual and collec…

Arnold J. Bauer (1931–2015)
Arnold J. Bauer—Arnie to just about everyone—passed away on July 30, 2015, after a sudden case of meningitis. He left a huge community of friends and family who valued his sense of humor, passion for conversation, and loyalty.

Mark Molesky. The Gulf of Fire
Mark Molesky has published a gripping and valuable history of the Lisbon earthquake of 1755. He has uncovered new sources on this much-studied disaster, allowing him not only to provide novel anecdotes and insights but also to contribute to debates about the earthquake’s impact on eighteenth-century political and intellectual struggles. He also brings to the project his enviable narrative skills and his training as an intellectual historian. The …
When Rains Became Floods
In their introductions, Orin Starn and the late Carlos Iván Degregori use the terms “remarkable” and “exceptional” to refer to Lurgio Gavilán Sánchez and his memoir. This is not hyperbole. Gavilán joined the Shining Path as a twelve-year-old, fighting for them for three years. When members of the army trapped him on a bleak mountain peak, they took pity on the emaciated, lice-ridden teenager and at the last minute spared him from execution. He wa…

Buscando un traductor
About ten years ago, Carlos Aguirre of the University of Oregon and I happily accepted an offer from Stuart Schwartz to translate Alberto Flores Galindo's classic, Buscando un Inca, for Cambridge University Press. We knew the book and the author well and Carlos and I had worked together before. We believed that we could translate and edit the book in our free time between teaching, research, and other projects. Both of us had experience translati…
The Nature of Disaster in Latin America
Ese gol existe
Peruvian soccer has seen better days. Peru ended up in last place in the South American qualifying group for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and its club teams have floundered in the major cups in recent years. While a few players star in Europe, more make headlines in Lima for their late-night antics before games. Peruvians look back to the 1970s, when Peru had a remarkable showing in the 1970 Mexico City World Cup and its club teams did wel…

Shaky Colonialism
Contemporary natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina are quickly followed by disagreements about whether and how communities should be rebuilt, whether political leaders represent the community's best interests, and whether the devastation could have been prevented. Shaky Colonialism demonstrates that many of the same issues animated the aftermath of disasters more than 250 years ago. On October 28, 1746, a massive earthquake ravaged Lima, a …

The Upper Classes and Their Upper Stories
On October 28, 1746, at 10:30 p.m., a massive earthquake struck Lima, the capital of the viceroyalty of Peru, and swamped the nearby port of Callao, shattering areas up and down the coast. One account claimed that if “the most astute man attempted to create the perfect calamity, he could not have imagined the horrors inflicted on Lima and Callao.”1 The earthquake damaged almost all of Lima’s houses, and shook to their foundations most of the city…

The Patriotic Society
Few topics if any have perplexed Peruvian thinkers in the twentieth century as much as why the indigenous population has not been more fully incorporated into the nation. While the question has been posed in a number of ways from a variety of perspectives and disciplines, changing greatly over the decades, all agree that the indigenous population has not, as of the late twentieth century, been granted the rights and dignity implied by the term ci…
