The Indian world in the novels by Alcides Arguedas and Ciro Alegría

In my diplom work I tried to describe two indigenist novels: Bronze race by Alcides Arguedas and Broad and alien is the world by Ciro Alegría. The work is divided in three principal parts: The indigenous people like literary topic in the Andean region, The indigenism like resource of the indigenist novel, Bronze race and Broad and alien is the world. The first part is dedicated to the evolution of the Indian as litarary personage: From the romantic and idealized perspective, through the indianist novel up to the indigenist novel. Turning point between these types of novel was the novel Birds without a nest of the Peruvian writer, Clorinda Matto de Turner. In the second part I described the most important historical events that preceded the evolution of the indigenist novel. In the third part of my diplom work I devote myself to the analysis of two indigenist novels: Bronze race and Broad and alien is the world. I centered in the concept of the space and its relation with the composition, in the importance of the nature and tried to find how both authors see the indigenous world, if it is from the social or cultural point of view and which are their solutions of the problem
