Mariátegui’s “Amauta” magazine marked a century

In Peru, José Carlos Mariátegui founded “Amauta” magazine 100 years ago, creating a space for Marxist thought, Indigenous rights, and new cultural expressions.

For 32 issues, the magazine circulated throughout Latin America and reached Europe, encouraging discussion and aiming to influence historical events. “Amauta” brought together artistic avant-gardes and revolutionary movements who believed in a different future. Mariátegui’s work continued to inspire debate long after his death, leaving a lasting legacy in the region.
