Abstract

The work of the Peruvian writer José María Arguedas (1911-1969) is multifaceted, although his novelistic production, particularly his famous novel Deep Rivers (1958), has contributed to overshadowing El Sexto and other facets of Arguedas’ work, such as the journalistic, essayistic, and ethnographic ones. For these and other reasons that we will analyze in the present essay, El Sexto (Ricardo Palma Award, 1962) has been almost completely ignored by the critics. This essay proposes to contextualize this novel within national and international structures of linguistic, ideological, and economic power.
