  Arguedas, José María Criticism and Essays
Arguedas chronicled the social, economic, cultural and linguistic transformations wrought by urbanization and the massive migrations of highland Indians to Peru's coastal cities.
Arguedas became prominent in Peruvian culture and politics, and he was appointed to many governmental and cultural positions, including director of the National History Museum.
Arguedas believed much of his work was the product of a “bedeviled struggle with language.” His work reflects an attempt to bring forms of consciousness and reality he experienced and most easily expressed in Quechua to readers of Spanish, the language of the Quechua people's oppressors.

 Jose Maria Arguedas: Godfather of Liberationism
Arguedas was born in 1911 in Andahuaylas, southwest of Cuzco in Peru’s southern highlands.
Arguedas clearly hoped that a transculturation similar to that which occurred earlier in Peru’s history would happen again during his lifetime.
Thus the victory of the oppressors was hollow and short-lived.

 José María Arguedas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Generally considered one of the greats of 20th century Peruvian letters, Arguedas was born in the province of Andahuaylas in the southern Peruvian Andes.
Arguedas began by writing short stories about the Indian environment he was brought up in, in a Spanish highly influenced by Quechua syntax and vocabulary.
Arguedas had remained moderately optimistic about the possibility of a rapprochement between the forces of 'tradition' and the forces of 'modernity' up until this point, but as the 'sixties developed he became more pessimistic.

 José María Arguedas
A los 30 años de su ausencia, podemos señalar que las contribuciones más substanciales de Jose María Arguedas fueron su narrativa andina y sus ensayos sobre folklore, etnología, antropología y cultura indigenista.
Arguedas narrador, ensayista, etnólogo y finalmente suicida, es producto de una época y de las circunstancias familiares, culturales, sociales y políticas que lo rodearon, pero es también resultado de la actitud de una parte de la intelectualidad peruana que no supo reconocer en ese momento la verdadera dimensión de su obra.
Arguedas fue víctima, como muchos otros, de una sociedad hipócrita, violenta, agresiva, y fundamentalmente depresiva.

Arguedas, with his Indian upbringing, has a perceptiveness toward nature not often found in modern, Western society.
Arguedas, although white, learned Quechua as an infant, forced by circumstances to spend long periods with Peruvians of indian extraction, an experience which he would forever remember with deep tenderness and affection, and which would transmit surviving elements of Inca thought as well.
The problem Arguedas faced as a writer was how to express a non-western state of mind in Spanish, a western language.

 H-Net Review: Karen Racine on Jose Maria Arguedas: Reconsiderations for Latin American ...
Jose Maria Arguedas was born in 1911 and spent his early years traveling rural Peru with his itinerant lawyer father.
In turn, then, this begs the question with which Arguedas himself was centrally concerned: "why write?" Of course, one writes to understand, and these articles clearly indicate that Jose Maria Arguedas was not unaware of the unresolvable contradictions in his beliefs and his literary activities, yet he felt himself compelled to write.
Because so much of Arguedas' attention was consumed with reconciling Peru's place in the modern world, and because his work reveals his concern with the supranational tendencies of the twentieth century, the articles in the anthology raise unanswered questions about Arguedas' place in world literature, and in the stream of global intellectual history.

 The Fox from Up Above and the Fox from Down Below by Jose Maria Arguedas - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
What Arguedas finds in both his own life and in the changing Peru of the 1960's is a world pulled apart at the seams by two Furies, one representing metamorphosis and the other oblivion.
Arguedas, who spent years living in Chimbote, offers a sprawling sociological portrait of its inhabitants: prosperous fisherman, mad preachers, whores, naive American priests, pig farmers, small-time bosses, and dignified squatters from the hinterlands.
Arguedas, who was an ardent socialist (his wife was later jailed for her connection to Sendero Luminoso), finds examples in this bewildering cross-section of the various ideological factions fighting to control Peru's heart: the liberation theology of the priests, the messianistic faith of the Andean squatters, and the reigning capitalism of the bosses.

 Arguedas, José María Criticism and Essays | ANTONIO CORNEJO POLAR
The poetry of José María Arguedas is not widely known, although with remarkable unanimity critics have noted in his narrative prose the qualities characteristically found in poetry….
The basic explanation [for lack of attention to Arguedas' poetry is] that of language.
All of Arguedas' poems were originally written in Quechua, and although in the majority of cases one has the Spanish versions written by Arguedas himself, in reading them in Spanish one encounters the limitations of translation, always major in the case of poetry.

 OUP | José María Arguedas
José María Arguedas (1911-1969) is one of the most important authors to speak to issues of the survival of native cultures.

 Peru Reader- THE PONGO'S DREAM Jose Maria Arguedas
Arguedas learned Quechua as a boy from servants in the household of his stepmother and his father, an itinerant lawyer.
Until his suicide in 1967, the novelist and anthropologist was perhaps more responsible than any other Peruvian for the impassioned defense of the Incan tongue and cultural autonomy for millions of Quechua speakers, challenging the powerful ideologies of "modernization" and "national integration" predicated on the erasure of Peru's indigenous past.
But the denouement, where the world turns upside down as in the Inkarri myth, suggests the existence of a spirit of independence and opposition, which was to fuel the peasant movements of the 1950's and the break-up of the landlords' rule.

Su labor como novelista, como traductor y difusor de la literatura quechua, y como antropólogo y etnólogo, hacen de él una de las figuras claves entre quienes han tratado, en el siglo XX, de incorporar la cultura indígena a la gran corriente de la literatura peruana escrita en español desde sus centros urbanos.
En esas obras Arguedas reivindica la validez del modo de ser del indio, sin caer en un racismo al revés.
El proceso de adaptación a la vida en Lima nunca fue del todo completado por Arguedas, cuyos traumas acarreados desde la infancia lo debilitaron psíquicamente para culminar la lucha que se había propuesto, no sólo en el plano cultural sino también en el político.

This subject line is not to diminish the power of this work.
Only to convey that, unlike many other "coming-of-age" stories of a youth, Arguedas' semi-autobiographical tale presents a boy already formed even before the events of the bulk of the narrative.
A pantheism rushes over his pages, and the Catholicism in whose school he is domiciled for most of the story remains more of a veneer over a pagan and defiant Quechua world refusing to succumb under the oppressive colonial and clerical regimes.
