Abstract

Alberto Flores Galindo has recently emphasized, taking up Basadre, that for the Peruvian case, the most significant contribution of the intelligentsia of that country in the present century has been to become aware of the importance of the Indian "in a country dominated by racism. .. who intended to condemn his peasants to silence". We cannot say such a thing about Ecuador. Our greatest historian at the beginning of the century, Gonzáles Suárez, was convinced that history did not begin in aboriginal times but at the moment of subjugation of the Indians by the Spanish, that the Indians —that "defeated race"— did not have any historical potential Furthermore, they were located outside of it, that the foundation of Ecuadorian nationality corresponded entirely to the mestizos, the only ones he considered to be the initiators of history, a people with a future.
