Abstract

This article explores the contributions of Marxist historian Ricardo Martinez de la Torre to the historiography of Peru. To achieve this, it is important to explain his intellectual development and his bibliography. Having established these elements, a compilation of his works called El Movimiento Obrero Peruano 1918-1919 is examined to understand the fundamentals of his historiographical works, to discover what presence Marxism has in them and, ultimately, what place he exactly occupies in Peru´s historiography Additionally, bibliography that used his texts as sources is reviewed to evaluate his legacy in more detail. These objectives allow for the discovery of a figure that has never been the main focus of a study like this one.
