A crucial result of Feldman's reading of Arguedas as a political philosopher is a strong and entirely necessary argument about the need to revise the idea of the register, medium, and genre through which political thought is produced; the proposition, in other words, that we need to take seriously the idea that poesis is a necessary and significant register for theorization. --Adriana Michele Campos Johnson, University of California-Irvine

With this book Irina Alexandra Feldman proves that Jose Maria Arguedas's Todas las sangres is not just an epic novel. She applies contemporary political theory and shows that Todas las sangres is a thoughtful and pliant blueprint for a plurinational sovereignty still unattained and misunderstood in Arguedas's beloved Peru, but not so unlike the plurinational state inaugurated in Bolivia in 2009. --Thomas Ward, Loyola University Maryland

Feldman seeks to distill a political philosophy in Arguedas's novels and identifies 'community, ' 'political subjectivity, ' 'sovereignty, ' 'juridical norm, ' and 'revolutionary change' as the key concepts. But her guiding thread is to contrast Arguedas's view with what she calls 'the idea of necessary homogenization for successful execution of any nation-building project, ' which, she contends, permeated Peruvian social science at the time. --Julio F.
