Orrego: Hacia un humanismo americano

Mejía Baca published this in 1966. Antenor Orrego died in 1960. I still have my Vallejo project to do. I am not one of those who believes Vallejo was arguing as an Inca or anything like that, but there were all of these americanist projects at the time he was writing and Vallejo is in dialogue with them. In the 80s when I started working on this everyone feared essentializing and wanted to vaporize the idea of identity. Orrego is of course dated now and wasn’t necessarily cutting-edge in his lifetime, but he would be worth revisiting and rereading.

Axé.
