Synopsis

Peru is a spectacular, an extreme country: on the one hand, the world-famous remains of Indian high cultures lure into landscapes of rugged beauty. On the other hand, a trail of massive violence runs through Peruvian history: it is shown in unequal life opportunities and stark social differences as well as in armed conflicts that have shaped the country in recent decades. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of the essential developments in Peru's history and economy and devote themselves extensively to social issues and cultural change in Peruvian society. They show opportunities and limits of Peruvian democracy and describe the problems, but also the hopes that shape the everyday life of Peruvians.
