José Carlos Mariátegui

José Carlos Mariátegui La Chira (1894-1930), sometimes called El Amauta in Peru, was a Peruvian Marxist writer, considered one of the greatest scholars of Latin America despite his early death. His Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality (1928), a synthesis of his social and political thought, became a reference work for the Latin American intelligentsia.
