Nicomedes Santa Cruz is one of the most important poetic voices in Peru in the second half of the 20th century. His work enjoys not only national and international recognition, but is also one of the most popular. Although the studies of his work identify the aspect of the claim of Afro-Peruvian culture, it is also important to recognize the poetry of a social or committed nature that he carefully elaborated, and that was consistent with the ethic of an artist that he professed. In the following essay with a qualitative approach, we develop a reading of some poems of a social nature that he composed: Indio, América Latina,Talara, Congo libre and Johanesburgo. The metaphorical thought of his compositions has connotations of an ideological and political order, in accordance with the time in which they were written. For this, from the reading, we will establish a thematic axis that helps us to elaborate an interpretive approach of his poetics in relation to the history and politics of the 60s and 70s, mainly.Downloads
