¿Por qué SOMOS UN FRACASO COMO PAÍS?

In this interview, historian Cecilia Méndez —one of the most necessary and powerful voices for understanding Peru— dismantles the myths that still shape our idea of a “Republic.” Are we truly a unified nation? Or are we still living under the same colonial hierarchies that never really disappeared? We talk about structural racism, the political invention of mestizaje, why Peru keeps repeating the same mistakes since the 19th century, and how the elites built a national narrative that hides more than it reveals. If you’ve ever felt that “Peru never changes,” this conversation finally explains why. This is an uncomfortable, urgent, and essential discussion. And yes — it reveals far more about the present than you think. Become a channel member for exclusive perks:    / @buenlibrero
