The Shining Path

A History of the Millenarian War in Peru

By: Gustavo Gorriti

First published in Peru in 1990, The Shining Path was immediately hailed as one of the finest works on the insurgency that plagued that nation for over fifteen years. A richly detailed and absorbing account, it covers the dramatic years between the guerrillas' opening attack in 1980 and President Fernando Belaunde's reluctant decision to send in the military to contain the growing rebellion in late 1982. Covering the strategy, actions, successes, and setbacks of both the government and the rebels, the book shows how the tightly organized insurgency forced itself upon an unwilling society just after the transition from an authoritarian to a democratic regime. One of Peru's most distinguished journalists, Gustavo Gorriti first covered the Shining Path movement for the leading Peruvian newsweekly, Caretas. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and an impressive array of government and Shining Path documents, he weaves his careful research into a vivid portrait of the now-jailed Shining Path leader Abimael Guzman, Belaunde and his generals, and the unfolding drama of the fiercest war fought on Peruvian soil since the Chilean invasion a century before.

A History of Book Publishing in Contemporary Latin America

By: Gustavo Sorá

This book presents a cultural history of Latin America as seen through a symbolic good and a practice – the book, and the act of publication – two elements that have had an irrefutable power in shaping the modern world. The volume combines multiple theoretical approaches and empirical landscapes with the aim to comprehend how Latin American publishers became the protagonists of a symbolic unification of their continent from the 1930s through the 1970s. The Latin American focus responds to a central point in its history: the effective interdependence of the national cultures of the continent. Americanism, until the 1950s, or Latin Americanism, from the onset of the Cold War, were moral frameworks that guided publishers’ thinking and actions and had concrete effects on the process of regional integration. The illustration of how Latin American publishing markets were articulated opens up broader and comparative questions regarding the ways in which the ideas embodied in books also sought to unify other cultural areas. The intersection of cultural, political and economic themes, as well as the style of writing, makes this book an interest to a wide reading public with historical and sociological sensitivity and global cultural curiosity.

El mejor y el peor de los tiempos

By: Gustavo Gorriti

Ensayos sobre el oficio periodístico El masivo y vertiginoso crecimiento del internet, con la llegada del nuevo siglo, reconfiguró el mundo entero. Sobre todo, la manera de comunicar a gran velocidad y alcance una cantidad descomunal de información o de desinformación, tanto verdades como mentiras. La hiperconectividad permitió, de un lado, descubrir redes trasnacionales de corrupción y, del otro, robustecerlas; fortalecer la libertad y la democracia, pero también atacarlas y socavarlas. Nunca fue tan fácil descubrir verdades ocultas, y nunca, a la vez, fue tan fácil disfrazar la más profunda mentira como una supuesta verdad. En medio de este escenario de dicotómica efervescencia, el periodismo —en especial el de investigación— experimentó profundos cambios. Los medios tradicionales entraron en crisis y asomaron nuevas formas de publicación; los periodistas contaron con novedosas herramientas, pero enfrentaron también riesgos inéditos. Gustavo Gorriti vivió y protagonizó, como periodista, ese proceso de innovación, de aprendizaje, de lucha y de renovado compromiso con la verdad y la justicia. Compuesto por una selección de ensayos y crónicas breves, publicados en diversos medios locales e internacionales durante las primeras dos décadas del siglo XXI, El mejor y el peor de los tiempos refleja los ideales y las circunstancias que marcaron el quehacer periodístico de Gorriti durante más de cuarenta intensos años de sobresaliente carrera.
