Luis Alberto Sánchez, Peruvian author, lawyer, politician, and professor, carried on a voluminous correspondence with fellow Peruvian diplomat, lawyer, and journalist Manuel Seoane Corrales through nearly forty years of political and personal endeavors. The letters stand as a testament to the growth and development of these important political activists and to the temporal, cultural, and spatial milieu in which they are written. They present a multilayered portrait of aprismo that is not available in conventional histories of the party. This course will review selected letters and highlight themes that surfaced as the volatile political situation swirled around and between them.
Instructor: Gloria Bodtorf Clark, emerita professor of humanities and Spanish, Penn State Harrisburg
