Gamaliel Churata in The City of Kings (1965-1969)
Abstract
The article recovers the presence of the writer Gamaliel Churata in Lima, known as the "City of Kings" for its strong colonial identity, during the period from 1965 to 1969. At the same time, it focuses on his unknown participation in the magnate's print media Luis Banchero Rossi, in the business group Editoriales Unidas Sociedad Anónima. The magazines Mundo Pesquero and Mundo Agropecuario had a strategic influence on the political and investor sectors of the stage prior to the Agrarian Reform in Peru, proposing a type of industrial food development in constant tension with the natural and organic benefits of Peru. Within this framework, Gamaliel Churata continued to advocate the revitalization of the Aymara and Quechua cultures with an understanding of nature from an Andean ontology. The recovered articles show his facet as a chronicler in different rural sectors, always predicting a reconstitution of Tawantinsuyo. At the same time looking at the past, he kept a constant update on the most advanced animal genetic science that was developing at that time.
