Peru and the Post-Fujimori Future
Cooper, Marc | April 9, 2001 issue

add to cart   close window

With presidential elections set for April 8, just how Peru itself will survive the wreckage of the past decade of Alberto Fujimori's authoritarian rule remains an open question. Whatever government arises from the vote, at least Peruvians won't have to navigate through official walls of silence, nor will they have to sift through unmarked graves to unearth the record of the past ten years. They'll be saved those tedious labors because as Fujimori was absconding to Japan last November, his regime was thoughtful enough to leave behind a full video record of the calamities it visited upon the 26 million people who live in Peru.
