As a mestizo, both European and Quechua blood ran through his veins and into his cosmology and writing. Arguedas's Marxist influences and ethnographic work placed him in direct contact with the subalterns he would champion in his stories. His exposes of the conflicts between Indians and creoles, and workers and elites were severely criticized by his contemporaries, who sought homogeneity in the nation-building project of Peru. In Rethinking Community from Peru, Irina Alexandra Feldman examines the deep political connotations and current relevance of Arguedas's fiction to the Andean region. Looking principally to his most ambitious and controversial work, All the Bloods, Feldman analyzes Arguedas's conceptions of community, political subjectivity, sovereignty, juridical norm, popular actions, and revolutionary change. She deconstructs his particular use of language, a mix of Quechua and Spanish, as a vehicle to express the political dualities in the Andes. As Feldman shows, Arguedas's characters become ideological speakers and the narrator's voice is often absent, allowing for multiple viewpoints and a powerful realism. Feldman examines Arguedas's other novels to augment her theorizations, and grounds her analysis in a dialogue with political philosophers Walter Benjamin, Jean-Luc Nancy, Carl Schmitt, Jacques Derrida, Ernesto Laclau, and A?lvaro Garci?a-Linera, among others. In the current political climate, Feldman views the promise of Arguedas's vision in light of Evo Morales's election and the Bolivian plurality project recognizing indigenous autonomy. She juxtaposes the Bolivian situation with that of Peru, where comparatively limited progress has been made towards constitutional recognition of the indigenous groups. As Feldman demonstrates, the prophetic relevance of Arguedas's constructs lie in their recognition of the sovereignty of all ethnic groups and their coexistence in the modern democratic nation-state, in a system of heterogeneity through autonomy--not homogeneity through suppression. Tragically for Arguedas, it was a philosophy he could not reconcile with the politics of his day, or from his position within Peruvian society"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aIlluminations (Pittsburgh, Pa.) 606 $aIndigenous peoples$zAndes Region$xPolitics and government 606 $aSovereignty in literature 606 $aCommunity life in literature 606 $aSocial conflict in literature 606 $aEthnic relations in literature 606 $aPeruvian fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aAndes Region$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aSovereignty in literature. 615 0$aCommunity life in literature. 615 0$aSocial conflict in literature. 615 0$aEthnic relations in literature 615 0$aPeruvian fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a863/.62 700 $aFeldman$b Irina Alexandra$0888377 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463767603321 996 $aRethinking community from Peru$91984632 997 $aUNINA
