TY - GEN T1 - Haya de la Torre and the pursuit of power in twentieth-century Peru and Latin America A1 - García-Bryce, Iñigo L., 1966- LA - English PP - Chapel Hill PB - University of North Carolina Press YR - 2018 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_on1048348015 AB - "Like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, Peruvian Victor Raul Haya de la Torre (1895-1979) was one of Latin America's key revolutionary leaders, well known across national boundaries. Inigo Garcia-Bryce's biography of Haya chronicles his dramatic political odyssey as founder of the highly influential American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA), as a political theorist whose philosophy shifted gradually from Marxism to democracy, and as a seasoned opposition figure repeatedly jailed and exiled by his own government. Garcia-Bryce spotlights Haya's devotion to forging populism as a political style applicable on both the left and the right, and to his vision of a pan-Latin American political movement. A great orator who addressed gatherings of thousands of Peruvians, Haya fired up the Aprismo movement, seeking to develop "Indo-America" by promoting the rights of Indigenous peoples as well as laborers and women. Steering his party toward the center of the political spectrum through most of the Cold War, Haya was elected president in 1962--but he was blocked from assuming office by the military, which played on his rumored homosexuality. Even so, Haya's insistence that political parties must cultivate Indigenous roots and oppose violence as a means of achieving political power has left a powerful legacy across Latin America."--Provided by publisher OP - 257 CN - F3448.H3 G38 2018 SN - 9781469636603 SN - 1469636603 SN - 9781469636634 SN - 1469636638 SN - 9781469636559 SN - 9781469636573 SN - 1469636557 SN - 1469636573 KW - Haya de la Torre, Víctor Raúl, : 1895-1979 : Influence.
