Beschreibung
Drawing on literary, historical and political documents, Kristal examines the fictional representation of the Indian in Peruvian narrative. He reconsiders a major but neglected period of literary production and provides a methodology for the study of literary themes that happen to be significant topics of debate or controversy in the political arena.
Novels and short stories can reflect or react to views on the Indian expressed in political programs, literary salons and sociological treatises, but they can also become major factors in the development of political or sociological discourse on the Indian. Kristal demonstrates that the literary representation of the Indian is a complex urban phenomenon.

«El estudio de Efraín Kristal es una contribución muy valiosa al estudio del indigenismo en el Perú.» (Valentin Soto, Rivista Hispanica Moderna)
«...an extremely stimulating study which brings a new perspective to bear on an important area of Spanisch-American literature, namely 'indigenista' fiction. ... The book...does much to help us to understand modern 'indigenismo', by explaining the ideological concepts of the Indian against which it was reacting. The sad implication is that in literature as in real life the Indian was no more than a pawn.» (James Higgins, Bulletin of Hispanic Studies)
