Through the study of the Peruvian society using articles like “The “Problem of the Indian...” and the Problem of the Land” by Jose Carlos Mariátegui and the Peruvian film La Boca del Lobo directed by Francisco Lombardi, it is learned that the identity of Peru is expressed through the Spanish descendants that live in cities or urban areas of Peru. In his essay, Mariátegui expresses that the creation of modern Peru was due to the tenure system in Peru and its Indigenous population. With the analyzation of La Boca del Lobo we will describe the native identity in Peru due to the Spanish treatment of Indians, power in the tenure system of Peru, the Indian Problem expressed by Mariátegui, and the implementation of Benedict Andersons “Imagined Communities”. …show more content…
Vitins military group is sent to Chuspis in order to protect the territory from being captured by the Sendero Luminoso which is a communist militant group that seeks to overthrow the Peruvian government of the time. As seen in the film, we learn that the Senderos, the members of this communist militia, are extremely cruel, vicious, and bloodthirsty in the way they execute indigenous people in the film that do not support them. After seeing these gruesome exxecutions the Lieutenant of Vitin’s military group decided to use the same method in hopes of gaining the support of the Indigenous people of Chuspis. Through this method of gaining support from indigenous people we see that these indigenous people were treated like trash, disrespected, and their rights were violated. Another example we see of this is when Vitin’s military group raid houses without consent with the excuse of looking for Indian Senderos in the population of Chuspis. With this we see that Spanish descendants (Military group) treat indigenous Indians like if they were animals without

In Chile, the natives celebrate their break from Spain with Fiestas Patrias.

Little is known about Pedro de Cieza de Leon’s youth. Historians have discovered that Pedro de Cieza de Leon was a Spaniard, a conquistador, and a writer of Peru’s history. Pedro de Cieza de Leon was not well educated and had only the most basic education from his local school parish (Atlantis).

The Andes had a legacy of resistance that was unseen in other Spanish occupied place during the colonial period. There were rebellions of various kinds as a continued resistance to conquest. In the “Letters of Insurrection”, an anthology of letters written amongst the indigenous Andean people, between January and March 1781 in what is now known as Bolivia, a statement is made about the power of community-based rebellion. The Letters of Insurrection displays effects of colonization and how the “lesser-known” revolutionaries that lived in reducción towns played a role in weakening colonial powers and creating a place of identification for indigenous people.
The story of Inês de Castro may not compare to that of the Petrichor potion or the Cure for Dragon Pox at a glance, but is none the less important in illustrating how potions can affect a large population in a short period of time.
April 9, 1948, was a tragic day in Colombia’s history. On this day, Jorge Eliécer Gaítán, a candidate for the presidency of Colombia, was assassinated. In the 10 hour period that followed the assassination, angry mobs marched throughout the city of Bogota, looting and burning down over 100 buildings. Before the night would end, nearly 3,000 people would die in the streets. This terrible event in Colombia’s history is today referred to as the Bogotazo. This paper examines some of the underlying reasons contributing to the outbreak of this violence and the events that transpired during the Bogotazo. The paper concludes that the events leading to the violence of the Bogotazo are still present in Colombia today and will hamper its prospects for peace in the future.

The author focuses his attention more on the southern uprisings led by Tomás Katari rather than the northern rebellions. On the other hand, we see Charles F. Walker’s work which is a rich character study of Túpac Amaru formerly known as José Gabriel Condorcanqui who was the leader of the most famous rebellion in Peru. Serulnikov’s take on the events is different compared to previous assessments of the Túpac Amaru rebellions in the sense that it does not center Túpac Amaru in the story. Serulnikov outlines the historiography of this complex subject into
What is culture? Many people ask themselves this question every day. The more you think about it the more confusing it is. Sometimes you start leaning to a culture and then people tell you you’re wrong or they make you feel like a different person because of your culture. I go through this almost every day. Because of the way I was raised I love Mexican rodeo but I was born and raised in Joliet. This can be very difficult trying to understand culture. I live in this huge mix of culture. Culture is personal. People can have many cultures especially in America and because of globalization. Cultural identity is not one or the other, it is not Mexican or American. Cultural identity is an individual relevant thing.

What is one of the biggest problems in Latin America today? Is it the slums that some people live in or the way poor people are treated? Both these ideas connect to Latin America’s largest problem today, the major income gap between the rich and the poor. When people think of Latin America in modern day some will think of the rich citizens who live prosperous lives, but many of them also think of the poor folk who live in slums such like the favelas of Rio. This might not seem like such a big issue to us, but for the people of Latin America this could not only affect their economy, but their politics as well.
