About José Carlos Mariátegui
- José Carlos Mariátegui La Chira (14 June 1894 – 16 April 1930) was a Peruvian intellectual, sociologist, journalist, political philosopher, and communist.
- A prolific writer before his early death at the age of 35, he is considered one of the most influential Latin American socialists of the 20th century.
- Mariátegui's Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality (1928) is still widely read in South America, and called "one of the broadest, deepest, and most enduring works of the Latin American century".
- An avowed self-taught Marxist, he insisted that a socialist revolution should evolve organically in Latin America on the basis of local conditions and practices, not the result of mechanically applying a European formula.
- Although best known as a political thinker, his literary writings have gained attention by scholars.
