ABOUT US
Peru. A Peasant History – peasant life and struggle in novels
and films – worldwide is a project of Peasant
Autonomy. It started in 2015 and was ready in 2020. The stories
are written by Jan Paul Smit, inspired by the book or movie mentioned
in 'Source' at the bottom of every story. They are not quotations or
fragments, but Smit's own interpretation in his own words.
Our special thanks go to Marcia Tiede and Margaret Weidner for
correcting the English stories. And to Jules Pretty for his
encouragement.
