We the Indians: The indigenous peoples of Peru and the struggles for land, Hugo Blanco, Merlin Press/Resistance Books reviewed by Derek Wall
The IIRE is happy to have cooperated with Haymarket Books from the United States to publish this new edition of Soma Marik's detailed study of the place of democracy and women's liberation in early Marxism and Bolshevism.
Audio-recordings of our event of March 30 are now online:
Peter Drucker spoke about the background to the rise of Trump, conflicts on the US right and issues facing the resistance, Paul Le Blanc spoke about the US Left today and recent social movements.
''I have taken the term 'Indian' as the title of the book. It is the pejorative term used against us. The whip they use to hit our faces. I have picked up the whip. I find it more appropriate than using terms that soften or diminish the oppression''. - Hugo Blanco
We the Indians is a collection of essays by Peruvian peasant leader and indigenous activist Hugo Blanco. In eleven chapters, Blanco discusses the struggles of indigenous people for land and self-determination and develops his ideas on what an ecological, liberated socialism could look like.
