Now Peru Is Mine combines extensive oral history interviews with archival research to chronicle his struggles for indigenous land rights and political inclusion as well as his fight against anti-Indian racism. His compelling story-framed by Jaymie Patricia Heilman's historical contextualization-covers nearly eight decades, from the poverty of his youth and teaching himself to read, to becoming an internationally known activist. Llamojha also recounts his life's tragedies, such as being forced to flee his home and the disappearance of his son during the war between the Shining Path and the government. His life gives insight into many key developments in Peru's tumultuous twentieth-century history, among them urbanization, poverty, racism, agrarian reform, political organizing, the demise of the hacienda system, and the Shining Path. The centrality of his embrace of his campesino identity forces a rethinking of how indigenous identity works inside Peru, while the implications of his activism broaden our understanding of political mobilization in Cold War Latin America. 606 $aIndigenous peoples$2bicssc 606 $aRelating to Indigenous peoples$2bicssc 610 $aAndes 610 $aAyacucho 610 $aChile 610 $aConcepcio?n 610 $aHacienda 610 $aHistory 610 $aLima 610 $aPeasant 610 $aPeru 610 $aShining Path 615 7$aIndigenous peoples 615 7$aRelating to Indigenous peoples 700 $aLlamojha Mitma$b Manuel$01780502 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910917299303321 996 $aNow Peru Is Mine$94304529 997 $aUNINA
