Themes As A Writer
Arguedas was a keen observer of – and much of his work was inspired by – the indigenous inhabitants of the Andean altiplano, their cultures, and their customs. More controversially, he believed that Bolivia's best hopes lay in a decidedly Western or European orientation, at the expense of majority indigenous culture. Indeed, he tended to see the latter as a handicap impeding Bolivia's progress. His most famous works are Pueblo Enfermo (1910) and Raza de Bronce (1919).
