- Résumé : "Peru in the Guano Age" by Alexander James Duffield offers a comprehensive examination of Peru during a pivotal period marked by the exploitation of guano deposits. The text contrasts the so-called "Guano Age" with Peru's "Golden Age" under the Incas, highlighting the socio-economic and political changes that occurred. Duffield details the instability of the Peruvian government during the Guano Age, characterized by frequent revolutions and a lack of effective governance, in stark contrast to the stable and prosperous Inca rule. The author critiques the neglect of agriculture and infrastructure, the prevalence of idleness, and the inefficiencies of the legal system. He also addresses the shift in foreign influence, particularly the role of European and Asian immigrants in shaping modern Peru. The text delves into the challenges faced by Chinese laborers, who were often subjected to harsh conditions and exploitation. Duffield's narrative is interspersed with personal anecdotes and observations, providing a vivid portrayal of Peruvian society and its complexities. The book serves as both a historical account and a critical analysis of the factors that influenced Peru's development during the Guano Age, offering insights into the broader implications of economic dependency and cultural change.
