Pasado histórico y futuro político de los Siete ensayos en perspectiva nuestroamericana

Abstract

Recognition of Mariátegui’s master work’s current relevance, and application of the critical historicist notion coined by the Amauta to understand Peruvian reality: the “triple tradition”. The appreciation is thus not limited to the legacy of pre-invaded civilizations, but it also acknowledges the multiple hybrid cultures and the contributions of the Nuestroamerican emancipation’s political culture, all the way from Huamán Poma de Ayala to Simón Rodríguez and the legal and political theory of Bolivia and Ecuador’s present Constitutions. This sum of complex and particular traditions, stemming from Mariátegui’s teachings, is essential to the political future Socialism.
