Peru In The Guano Age: A Historical Exploration of Peru's Economic and Social transition - Couverture souple
Synopsis
"Peru in the Guano Age" by Alexander James Duffield offers a comprehensive examination of Peru during a pivotal period marked by the exploitation of guano deposits. The text contrasts the so-called "Guano Age" with Peru's "Golden Age" under the Incas, highlighting the socio-economic and political changes that occurred. Duffield details the instability of the Peruvian government during the Guano Age, characterized by frequent revolutions and a lack of effective governance, in stark contrast to the stable and prosperous Inca rule. The author critiques the neglect of agriculture and infrastructure, the prevalence of idleness, and the inefficiencies of the legal system. He also addresses the shift in foreign influence, particularly the role of European and Asian immigrants in shaping modern Peru. The text delves into the challenges faced by Chinese laborers, who were often subjected to harsh conditions and exploitation. Duffield's narrative is interspersed with personal anecdotes and observations, providing a vivid portrayal of Peruvian society and its complexities. The book serves as both a historical account and a critical analysis of the factors that influenced Peru's development during the Guano Age, offering insights into the broader implications of economic dependency and cultural change.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'Peru in the Guano Age' is a book written by Alexander James Duffield. This book provides a historical account of Peru during the so-called 'Guano Age,' a period in the mid-19th century when Peru's economy was heavily dependent on the export of guano, a valuable fertilizer made from seabird excrement found on the country's coastal islands.During this era, guano became a valuable commodity in international trade, and Peru's economy experienced a boom due to guano exports. The book likely discusses the economic, social, and political aspects of this period, as well as the impact of guano mining on the environment and the broader historical context of Peru during the 19th century.The 'Guano Age' is a significant and unique chapter in Peruvian history, and Duffield's work likely delves into the various aspects of this historical period.
