Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Perú, Four Years of Constitutional Government Señor Doctor don José Pardo was born in Lima, February 24, 1864, as a son of señor don Manuel Pardo and señora Mariana Barreda de Pardo. He comes of one of the most distinguished families of Perù. His father was the first civil president who governed under the constitutional regime, from 1872 until 1876. As the founder of the civil party - the most important political organization of the country - he brought to an end the domination of the military governments that had followed one another in power from the establishment of independence. Don Manuel Pardo was one of the most eminent figures in the history of the republic. Don José Pardo was educated at the Institute Lima and at the Universidad Mayor de San Marcos, where he took the courses in literature, jurisprudence and political sciences, graduating with the title of doctor and lawyer in 1887. Appointed by the government as secretary of the legation of Perú in Spain, and afterward as chargé d'affaires, he formulated the defense of Perú in the arbitration of boundaries with Ecuador in 1889, the decision of which was submitted to his majesty the king of Spain. The process of arbitration being interrupted, he returned to Perú and assumed charge of the administration of a valuable agricultural property - owned by his family in the north of the republic - until 1898, at which time he established himself in Lima and devoted himself to business. He founded the Compañia Nacional de Tejidos "La Victoria" and the Compañia Urbanizadora of the same name, and he was made a director upon the boards of several limited companies.

Download or read book Intimate Enemies written by Kimberly Theidon and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-10-29 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of a civil war, former enemies are left living side by side—and often the enemy is a son-in-law, a godfather, an old schoolmate, or the community that lies just across the valley. Though the internal conflict in Peru at the end of the twentieth century was incited and organized by insurgent Senderistas, the violence and destruction were carried out not only by Peruvian armed forces but also by civilians. In the wake of war, any given Peruvian community may consist of ex-Senderistas, current sympathizers, widows, orphans, army veterans—a volatile social landscape. These survivors, though fully aware of the potential danger posed by their neighbors, must nonetheless endeavor to live and labor alongside their intimate enemies. Drawing on years of research with communities in the highlands of Ayacucho, Kimberly Theidon explores how Peruvians are rebuilding both individual lives and collective existence following twenty years of armed conflict. Intimate Enemies recounts the stories and dialogues of Peruvian peasants and Theidon's own experiences to encompass the broad and varied range of conciliatory practices: customary law before and after the war, the practice of arrepentimiento (publicly confessing one's actions and requesting pardon from one's peers), a differentiation between forgiveness and reconciliation, and the importance of storytelling to make sense of the past and recreate moral order. The micropolitics of reconciliation in these communities present an example of postwar coexistence that deeply complicates the way we understand transitional justice, moral sensibilities, and social life in the aftermath of war. Any effort to understand postconflict reconstruction must be attuned to devastation as well as to human tenacity for life.

Download or read book Peru written by John Crabtree and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While leftist governments have been elected across Latin America, this 'Pink Tide' has so far failed to reach Peru. Instead, the corporate elite remains firmly entrenched, and the left continues to be marginalised. Peru therefore represents a particularly stark example of 'state capture', in which an extreme concentration of wealth in the hands of a few corporations and pro-market technocrats has resulted in a monopoly on political power. Post the 2016 elections, John Crabtree and Francisco Durand look at the ways in which these elites have been able to consolidate their position at the expense of genuine democracy, with a particular focus on the role of mining and other extractive industries, where extensive privatization and deregulation has contributed to extreme disparities in wealth and power. In the process, Crabtree and Durand provide a unique case study of state development, by revealing the mechanisms used by elites to dominate political discussion and marginalize their opponents, as well as the role played by external actors such as international financial institutions and foreign investors. The significance of Crabtree's findings therefore extends far beyond Peru, and illuminates the wider issue of why mineral-rich countries so often struggle to attain meaningful democracy.

Book excerpt: First published in the 1950s, this is a classic account of the discovery in 1911 of the lost city of Machu Picchu. In 1911 Hiram Bingham, a pre-historian with a love of exotic destinations, set out to Peru in search of the legendary city of Vilcabamba, capital city of the last Inca ruler, Manco Inca. With a combination of doggedness and good fortune he stumbled on the perfectly preserved ruins of Machu Picchu perched on a cloud-capped ledge 2000 feet above the torrent of the Urubamba River. The buildings were of white granite, exquisitely carved blocks each higher than a man. Bingham had not, as it turned out, found Vilcabamba, but he had nevertheless made an astonishing and memorable discovery, which he describes in his bestselling book LOST CITY OF THE INCAS.
