Uchuraccay or The Face of Barbarism. First Edition
The author states in this work: In 1989 I submitted this book (when it was 1,000 pages, 2 volumes) to CONCYTEC, which did not approve it, as that honor had been bestowed upon General Clemente Noel for the publication of his book on the same subject. I subsequently submitted the work to various human rights organizations, with no luck either. I made the same effort — at the request of his secretary general Efraín Rúa — with the workers' union of the newspaper "La República": I never received a response. I had a few more stumbles until, thanks to the editorial San Marcos, this book (duly reworked) saw the light at the beginning of the third millennium as a way of rescuing the memory and history of our people and as a tenacious defense of the journalists who died. So that no one will ever again think that "the Indians of Uchuraccay are Peruvians too" or exclaim, in a truly unfortunate phrase, that "we are all guilty." With various types of argumentation, as can be verified in the book, prominent figures from across the political spectrum reaffirm how extraordinary those declarations were. And as Julio Cortazar lucidly said: "So that the feeling of the diabolical does not continue to make its way among us."
