  • Witness to Sovereignty. Essays on the Indian Movement in Latin America
    1 WITNESS TO SOVEREIGNTY. ESSAYS ON THE INDIAN MOVEMENT IN LATIN AMERICA . Manuscript submitted for publication to The University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, Oklahoma. December, 2003 Introduction in the Guise of a Story The Journey This book has the shape of a spiral. In it I visit, circle, revisit, and intertwine themes and issues related to the centuries -long struggle of the indigenous peoples of Latin America to survive, retain their independence, gain autonomy, and achieve higher levels of ethnic sovereignty. The writings travel a spiral path in time and places that bega n more than four decades ago in Peru where I had landed as a young immigrant following the footpath of my Italian father. There, in the northern Sechura desert, in the Central Andes, and later in the jungle valley of the Huallaga river in the company of my father, I literally discovered the awesome and startling beauty of the cultural “other”: the Indians. The incipient fascination and intrigue for indigenous exoticism did not last too long, however. It came to a sudden halt during a trip to an hacienda owned by the Church in the southern Andean region of Cusco. Poverty, hunger, exploitation, humiliation, oppression, and discrimination became soon the indelible signs of being an Indian in Peru. To the initial stage of seduction by illusory Indian exoticis m belongs my first published article describing indigenous back -strap looms (Varese 1963 -64), followed by a booklet for high -school students on the life and scientific travels in Peru of the nineteenth century Italian naturalist Antonio Raimondi (Varese 1965).

Although there are signs that efforts to slow down the rate of population growth are beginning to have success in some countries, and although the process of development itself eventually leads to slower growth, it is an inescapable conclusion that the world's population will double by early in the next century -and that of the developing countries will probably double by the year 2000. Food production must therefore be doubled in the same short time span just to maintain present-day levels of nutrition-and more than doubled if these standards are to be improved for the many millions of now undernourished people of the world.

Fundador del partido Acción Popular y hombre de honor a la antigua, con modales aristocráticos e inmune a la corrupción, Fernando Belaúnde fue, desde posiciones conservadoras, un patriota sincero y un demócrata honesto comprometido con el reformismo social y el progreso del Perú, pero al que sin embargo solieron desbordar unos sectores nacionalistas e izquierdistas radicalizados: su primer mandato quedó interrumpido por el golpe militar revolucionario del general Velasco Alvarado, mientras que el segundo fue severamente golpeado por la subversión senderista a la vez que por una aguda crisis económica. El emérito y respetado dirigente falleció en 2002 a los 89 años de edad. (Texto actualizado hasta junio 2002) http://www.cidob.org 1 of 9 Biografía 1.

  • Populism of the Twenty-First Century” Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Washington, D.C
    DRAFT—PLEASE CITE ONLY WITH PERMISSION Prepared for the conference “Populism of the Twenty-First Century” Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Washington, D.C. October 8, 2009 Populism in Peru: From APRA to Ollanta Humala Cynthia McClintock George Washington University To one degree or another, in one form or another, populism has been not only recurrent in Peru since the 1920s, but almost constant. The persistence of populism in the country is not surprising. First, social and economic divides in Peru have been very deep, provoking intense resentments that politicians have galvanized to their advantage. The divides were deeper in Peru than in other Latin American nations because Peru was the home of one of the region’s two largest and most sophisticated indigenous civilizations and then one of Spain’s two viceroyalties; the Spanish conquest and colonial rule were especially traumatic. The divides were also deeper due to geography; in contrast to other Andean countries, Peru’s capital is on the coast, separated from the country’s indigenous peoples by some of the highest mountains of the Andes. Second, populism has persisted because, for a variety of reasons, liberal democracy has been perceived as not sufficiently successful in bridging Peru’s divides, and so frustrated Peruvians have turned to populist alternatives. Although the failures of Peru’s 1980-1990 liberal-democratic governments are the best-known, there is a long history of liberalism without social reform in Peru. The governments during the 1895-1914 “Aristocratic Republic,” of Manuel Prado (1939-1945 and 1958-1962), and Fernando Belaúnde (1963- 1968) were all elected governments (albeit with various degrees of restriction on the franchise and various promises of reform) that were perceived to be insufficiently committed to social reform.

As a result the demographic, economic, social and cultural characteristics of urban areas are changing, particularly in countries undergoing rapid urbanisation. Planning and Housing in the Rapidly Urbanising World explores a range of international approaches to this trend within the fields of housing and urban planning, with a particular focus on countries in the South. The impact on land use and housing is described and analysed with reference to the related issues of poverty, health and the environment. Jenkins, Smith and Wang investigate the evolving relationship between development strategies and urban issues using a series of international case studies of planning and housing in Latin America, Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
