Florestan Fernandes (1920–1995) was a Marxist intellectual from São Paulo, Brazil. He was a highly regarded professor of sociology and a socialist activist.
José Carlos Mariátegui (14 June 1894 – 16 April 1930) was born in Monquegua, Peru. A journalist by profession, he was one of the most influential socialist thinkers of Latin America. His most famous book Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, translated and reprinted many times since its first publication in 1928, is considered a landmark in the analysis of the culture, politics and economy of a country—in this case, Peru.
