"Interesting use of the illegal night performance of a Swiss dancer in the cemetery to establish the focus for an excellent political biography of Mariátegui's early career. The young Peruvian Marxist was in attendance at the ceremony and many of the participants were subsequently arrested, including Mariátegui. According to Stein, this 'tectonic experience' set the young writer and leftist on the path to a greater militancy and resistance to existing conditions in Peruvian society. Highly psycho-analytic approach. Author brings a deep understanding of Peru and the peasantry to this unique analysis"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
