This article aims to analyze the political conduct of the Peruvian Chinese during the Pacific War. We will delve into the process of incorporating a Chinese unit into the Chilean army as an auxiliary force and its oath on the eve of the battles for the Peruvian capital in January 1881. The sources consist of eyewitness accounts of the ceremony, all of whom were Westerners: Chilean officers, journalists, and some European military observers. Early accounts of the Pacific War from Chilean and Peruvian authors, specifically Vicuña Mackenna and Paz Soldán, respectively, will also be utilized. Finally, we will analyze 19th-century Chinese newspapers containing letters from the coolies discussing their situation in Peru and the war with Chile. The research findings are as follows: The rite was 100% Chinese. It was not related to Chilean or Peruvian patriotic identity but rather to the immine...

This paper reviews the academic production regarding the Chinese inmigration to Cuba and Peru. It’s main inquiry is why both cases have produced so different results despite a similar background and social origin. The answer is politics: the Chinese in Cuba fought in the Independence campaign and were quickly assimilated as part of the army that defeated Spanish colonialism. Years later, the Cuban revolution expropiated small business of the Chinese, and they were forzed to massively migrate to the U.S.A. On the other hand, the Chinese in Peru rebelled against the plantation regime during the War of the Pacific, in which Chile defeated a joint Peru-Bolivia Alliance. A portion of the culíes helped the Chilean army, and subsecuently the community suffered a lot to be accepted as part of the forces that constituted the peruvian nation. Nevertheless, the Peruvian Chinese progressively ass...

"Los trabajos aquí reunidos tienen un carácter exploratorio, pues se trata de temas poco desarrollados por los historiadores si se comparan, por ejemplo, con la producción bibliográfica de sociólogos y economistas. El primer texto “Las ideas sobre la desigualdad desde una perspectiva histórica” es una mirada panorámica sobre aquello que pretende legitimar las desigualdades en la sociedad peruana. El énfasis está puesto en los discursos racistas y abarca, con los riesgos que ello supone, lo sucedido al respecto en el Perú entre los siglos XVI y XX. El segundo ensayo, “Las promesas igualitarias del liberalismo criollo” se concentra en el siglo XIX y trata sobre los principios ordenadores que los liberales trataron de implantar en la república temprana. El punto de partida es que la noción de igualdad jurídica presente en el marco legal-institucional y en el discurso so...

La presente publicación es el segundo producto del proyecto Generación de Diálogo entre Chile y Perú en el marco de los nuevos desafíos bilaterales y regionales, que desarrollan el Instituto de Estudios Internacionales (IEI) de la Universidad de Chile, el Instituto de Estudios Internacionales (IDEI) de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú y las oficinas de Chile y Perú de la Fundación Konrad Adenauer.
