El trabajo de Antonio Cornejo-Polar, a quien este volumen rinde homenaje, alimento durante varias decadas la reflexion mas seria y articulada que se haya producido en Peru sobre la critica cultural que se vincula a la raiz misma del campo interpretado, a sus mas profundas y conflictivas condiciones de existencia y desarrollo historico. La obra de Cornejo-Polar se cino a la cultura andina en la region peruana. Su acercamiento acotado a la problematica cultural andina paso a constituir un modelo de interpretacion aplicable a multiples aspectos de la cultura latinoamericana y a distintos momentos de su historia. Su trabajo sobre la problematica indigenista fue una labor incansable llena de fe en el trabajo critico e interpretativo, generosidad, tolerancia sin concesiones, rigor y fuerza intelectual. Abrio una ruta para que todos entendieramos mejor el sentido y compromiso de nuestro trabajo y para que nos adentraramos en la interioridad de un continente sorprendente, ignorado, que el contribuyo en gran medida, a presentar en toda su desafiante complejidad.

The work of Antonio Cornejo-Polar, to whom this volume pays homage, fueled for several decades the most serious and articulate reflection that has been produced in Peru on cultural criticism that is linked to the very roots of its interpreted field, to its deepest and conflicting conditions of existence and historical development. Cornejo-Polar's work explored Andean culture in the Peruvian region. His focused approach to Andean cultural issues became a model of interpretation applicable to multiple aspects of Latin American culture and to different moments in its history. His work on indigenous issues was tireless, generous, tolerant without concessions, rigorous and full of faith in critical and interpretative work, and intellectual strength. He opened a path for all of us to better understand the meaning and commitment of our work and for us to delve into a surprising unknown continent, which he portrayed in all its challenging complexity.
