Two wars, different enemies, and the same victims. Or when the bicentennial silences the postwar period

Abstract

The postponement of rights is a reality that splits Peru and further opens the inequality gaps between the national subjects, in the image of power groups, and the subjects whose citizenship is questioned for not complying with national ideals. This article reflects on how the commemoration of the founding act of the Peruvian State exalts the political projects of modernization and silences the condition of a postwar society.
