Talk:José Carlos Mariátegui

Children?
Did Mariategui had only one child? I was under the impression that he had two - Sandro, his firstborn, and then another one. I may be wrong, of course - I don't have any sources with me - perhaps I am thinking of a nephew.


 * He had five children--one with another woman before he was married and four with his wife.--marc 04:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps it is worth adding towards the end the full passage from which the "sendero luminoso" phrase was taking? A sentence or two on Mariategui's not favoring mass murder as a way to revolution might be in order, no? Can anybody come up with quotes? Hasdrubal 20:59, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Ah, I think you are right. The text should indicate he had one child in Italy, followed by one (or more?) back in Lima.
 * You are suggesting that we indicate the context in which he wrote "sendero luminoso"? I have many of his books here, but it could take along time to find it. I do hope for the time being the text as it now stands makes explicit that SL much later made it its own. -- Viajero 21:13, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Amauta
Amauta, the publication, should have its own page instead of just redirecting into Inca education.--Jersey Devil 02:00, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

New link

Overshadowed?
The article says: Mariátegui's ideas dramatically lost importance in Peruvian politics after the fall of Berlin Wall and the presidency of Alberto Fujimori. He has been overshadowed by the resurgence of classic liberalism.

I think Mariategui´s ideas didn´t lost importance in peruvian politics, that´s an subjective opinion without any citation, in addition, the classic liberalism not "overshadow" his thought, but it does more current, remember he was not a "classical communist", but he was an socialist who admired to Gandhi, Romain Rolland, etc.--Alparla (talk) 01:33, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Health
The injury led to severe health problems later in life. Didn't he suffer from bone tuberculosis? His childhood injury was then merely incidental to his general health condition. His severe health problems did not follow from his injury - rather, his injury became severe because of his health problems. Feketekave (talk) 23:51, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
