José Carlos Mariátegui
José Carlos Mariátegui La Chira, sometimes referred to in Peru as El Amauta, was a Peruvian politician, and Marxist writer. A prolific author despite his early death, Mariátegui is considered one of the greatest scholars of Latin America. His Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality (1928), a synthesis of his thought, became a reference work for the intelligentsia of the continent.
