And Jaymie Patricia Heilman contextualizes Llamojha's compelling story with great insight. Now Peru is Mine is an exemplary collaboration as wondrous and lovingly-fashioned as the little painted wood dioramas, the retablos, for which Llamojha s native Ayacucho region has so long been renowned. --Orin Starn, coeditor of The Peru Reader We follow this gripping story of travail and turmoil through Llamojha's simple, but heartfelt narrative, guided by Heilman's skilled interviewing, as it unfolds on multiple fronts-local, regional and international. . . . Indeed a unique and worthy contribution that helps fill a large void in the historiography of the second half of the twentieth century. -- Peter Klaren * The Americas * Now Peru is Mine is a major academic, intellectual and editorial success. Every specialist and student of Latin America, the Andes and Peru will enjoy this book. This is an exemplary study of how a single life illustrates the complexities of a century. -- Javier Puente * Journal of Latin American Studies * The book is well-written and illustrated with photographs, excerpts from Llamojha's writings, and maps of the area of his activity.... Now Peru is Mine is a useful tool for learning about Peru's politics and history over the last century. -- William O. Deaver, Jr. * Journal of Global South Studies * Heilman has made a significant contribution to the literature by bringing Llamojha's story to a broad audience. . . . [T]he book works equally as well for general audiences or undergraduate classrooms as for specialists seeking thoughtful reflections on the political uses of identity. . . . Highly recommended. All levels/libraries. -- M. Becker * Choice * Author InformationManuel Llamojha Mitma (1921-2016) was an indigenous political activist who formerly served as the head of the Peruvian Peasant Confederation from 1962 to 1978.
