Writer and anthropologist, Jose Maria Arguedas was raised bi-lingually and bi-culturally. The fundamental theme of his work is the division in Peru between two cultures - the Quechua of Andean origin and the people with urban European roots - and their attempts to reach harmonious integration. We will read his powerful and poetic bookDeep Rivers, published in 1958. Please obtain the English translation by Frances Horning Barraclough, which was published by the University of Texas Press 20 years later. Instructor: Eliana Moya-Raggio. This class for adults over 50 meets Mondays through November 28th. No class on October 3rd.
