ACKNUWLEDGIHIENTS
This project was five years in the matting and went through various
manifestations. It evolved from a seminar paper during my first
semester of graduate studies at the University of Kansas and
pursued me during the course of my sojourn as a graduate student
in Latin American history.
I have incurred unremittable debts to numerous people. My
advisor, Elizabeth Ruanesof, provided especially useful comments
and criticisms of my worlt. Her brilliantly perceptive and
penetrating analysis dramatically improved my insights into Latin
American history; her encouragement helped me to go forward with
this study. Charles Stansifer read numerous drafts and gave me
invaluable suggestions for revisions. He challenged many of my
assumptions about Latin America and forced me to be more careful
in the arguments which I present. Dwight Kiel and Benjamin Sax,
who sat on my thesis committee, gave me critical insights into this
material from their respective disciplines of political theory and
European intellectual history. Surendra Bhana, Anton Rosentltal,
Kimberly Welch, and Harry Vanden all gave me very helpful sugges-
tions that significantly improved the overall quality of this book.
Clther people also gave me helpful suggestions. First I must
thank Tim Bloclt for introducing me to the importance of Jose
Carlos lvlariategui and his thought. Marcia Cluiros, Lyn Bennett,
Sherry Schirmer, and Manuela Knapp de Aguilar accompanied me
through several graduate seminars and assisted me in the framing of
the major questions in this essay. Thanlts go to Cheryl lvlusch, who
read virtually every word I wrote as a graduate student and who is
the best proofreader I ltnow. Shelley Miller did an outstanding job
in her capacity as the Latin American librarian at the University of
Kansas and traced many of my requests for more works on
ldariategui and Latin American lvlandst theory. lnterlibrary Loan
Services provided tlte works that Shelley no longer could buy. The
American Friends Service Committee made possible a trip to Cuba

during the summer of 1989. I used that opportunity to uncover many
of the connections between Mariategui and the Cuban revolution.
An Oppenheimer Fellowship during the summer of I991] and
Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships during the
smnmers of 1990 and 1992 facilitated travel to Nicaragua, Ecuador,
and Madison, Wisconsin, where I gathered more information on
Marintegui and his contributions to Latin American ldarsist theory.
