Luis Morató Peña was Senior Lecturer in the
Department of Romance Studies and Faculty Fellow of the Spanish
Language House until his retirement in 2009. He is a native speaker of Spanish and Quechua.
He has published several Peruvian and Bolivian trilingual textbooks
for classroom instruction, a grammar, and a dictionary. His recent
book, Mama Florencia, is about life in the Andean village of Pocona
before, during, and after the Agrarian Reform of 1953. The historic
and literary content of Mama Florencia, in Quechua, Spanish and
English, opens a way toward the cultural liberation of millions
of Andean peasants.
