Nuestros anos diez trata sobre el indigenismo, los levantamientos indigenas y el incaismo modernista en el Peru de la decada de 1910. Este libro estudia uno de los mas intensos periodos de la historia del Peru. Pero deliberadamente focaliza en el aspecto indigena de la cuestion. Por eso, se centra en la accion de la Asociacion Pro-Indigena, el levantamiento de Rumi Maqui y el impulso del incaismo modernista, y no se detiene en otros puntos que ya han sido prolijamente estudiados. Ademas, aunque destaca el rol cumplido por Pedro S. Zulen, Teodomiro Gutierrez Cuevas y Abraham Valdelomar,...
