Los negros en la epoca colonial fueron considerados "invisibles". No tributaban, trabajaban en obrajes de pano e ingenios de azucar, o como recolectores de perlas. No fueron destinados al arduo e inhumano trabajo de las mitas, pues se tenia la creencia que por venir de zonas calidas no soportarian la altura ni el inclemente frio de la sierra. En el presente trabajo se destacan aspectos del trafico de esclavos, la incomunicacion entre negros e indios, los excesivos castigos a negros profugos y rebeldes y la prohibicion para los esclavos de tener casa o cultivos

Mariategui's essays on the Peruvian situation were first published in 1928, & played a major role in the social analysis of Peruvian society. His aim was to understand Peru as an organic whole, following a materialist approach & viewing history as a dialectical & conflictual process. Mariategui saw Peru as having coexisting communistic, feudal, & bourgeois economies. He linked his analysis of the Indian question to the issue of land ownership, seeing land ownership also as a major obstacle to Peru's capitalist development. He saw education as having been shaped by Spanish scholasticism, French encyclopedism, & North American pragmatism. Other essays dealt with religion, literature, & governmental structure. His imaginative materialism represents a step beyond the Eurocentric Marxism of his time, & marks him as Latin America's first political scientist. W. H. Stoddard.
