- Summary:
- The Shining Path, although imbued with Marxist philosophy, wreaked havoc on the lives of the poor Indian descendants of the Incas living in northern Peru. In trying to enlist them in their revolution, they used violence and terror and tried to destroy their culture and way of life. Professor Carlos Ivan Degreogori explains that the Shining Path were mestisos who did not understand or respect the Indian's religion, or their ways of working the fields. Peasants who were forcibly recruited remember the trail of killings during the ten years of civil war. Today, they are rebuilding their devastated highland villages and looking towards the future.
