Del renombre a la omisión: Ugarte, Mariátegui y la marginación de la heterodoxia

Manuel Ugarte and Jose Carlos Mariategui were, probably, two of the most prominent figures of the Latin American Left at the beginning of the XX century. A Left whose diversity would generate signs of all sorts and in differing fields but, through these authors, would penetrate deeply in two extremely important movements of the continent’s political development: antiimperialism and indigenism. This article proposes to analyse these thinkers’ influence on said movements, the characteristics of their thoughts, their vision/idea of the revolution and the reasons why their contributions ended up being ignored. This work uses a selection from both authors’ works as a source, as well as comments by their contemporaries andpress reports from the period.
