Proposed Edits
I plan to expand the "Impact" section that I have previously added, with sources that reference Seven Interpretive Essays as a source.

I also plan to add a "Criticism" section, if there is enough criticism. If there is not a ton of criticism, I may combine the "Impact" and "Criticism" sections into just a "Reception" section.

I also feel that the summary of the content of the book needs to be edited. Along with this, the intro and beginning needs some slight cleaning up to do.

Here are 6 sources that I plan to use:

https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=_jSTuyXCI7wC&oi=fnd&pg=PA9&dq=marc+becker+jose+carlos+mariategui&ots=bavqIPZRqu&sig=MPHzzhx1FDPZjcGljL8xzy4jHtM#v=onepage&q=marc%20becker%20jose%20carlos%20mariategui&f=false (Secondary source analysis of Mariategui's Seven Interpretive Essays by Marc Becker, a professor of Latin American History. This is more of a praising article.)

https://www.jstor.org/stable/23558997?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents https://www.pdcnet.org/soctheorpract/content/soctheorpract_1988_0014_0001_0071_0086 (Interesting secondary source that I found. Talks about Mariategui's interest in Nietzsche's philosophy. More neutral bias.)

http://ijp.tamu.edu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/v3i1-Purcell.pdf (Another secondary source analyzing Seven Essays, which gives further commentary about Mariategui's interest in Nietzsche and other kinds of analysis by Sebastian Purcell, a professor of Latin American philosophy.)

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13569325.2010.528897?journalCode=cjla20 (Secondary source analysis of Seven Essays, this time a criticism by Juan Carlos Grijalva, a professor at Assumption College. This version is just an excerpt of the full source, however I can look further for the full article.)

https://isreview.org/issue/96/mariategui-and-latin-american-marxism (This specifically is a socialist perspective on the Seven Essays from a news source/journalist. I previously added Abimael Guzman's praise of Mariategui's work, and this could serve as another socialist perspective on the work to show its impact.)

https://books.google.com/books/about/Punk_and_Revolution.html?id=IrA5DQAAQBAJ&source=kp_book_description (Another intresting secondary source, relating the punk movement to Mariategui's Seven Essays.)--KennyKetchum (talk) 17:41, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Peer Review
Hey! These are my thoughts on your planned edits and some suggestions I wanted to share as you start to edit your article!


 * Adding more information to the “Impact” section and adding a new “Criticism” section sound like good ideas
 * Creating a “Reception” section in case there is not enough criticism also sounds like a good idea
 * Good choice of sources
 * Create a separate section for “Regionalism vs. Centralism” instead of including this section under “Religious factor”
 * Include another section for the “Process or prosecution of national literature”
 * Move the sentence “It is noteworthy to include the reply that the critical thinker Víctor Andrés Belaunde wrote, entitled La Realidad Nacional, known as The National Reality in English, where he pointed out many errors and omissions of Mariátegui. Belaunde, a defender of Catholic thought with progressive social tendencies, wanted to raise an open debate with Mariátegui, but his death in 1930 prevented him from doing so.[5]” to the “Impact” section
 * It might be better to move the “Impact” and “Criticism” sections to the bottom to give the article a more organized structure
 * Try to add citations to statements that are missing them.
 * Try to add some more images that are relevant to the article.
 * To improve on the overall summary of the essays, I would advise you to look over the Spanish version of the article for inspiration since it has more information

Good luck with editing! Gb825 (talk) 14:38, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
