Carlos Iván Degregori

Carlos Iván Degregori Caso (1945-2011) was a Peruvian anthropologist, professor, academic and researcher.

He also worked as a researcher at the Institute of Peruvian Studies and was a visiting professor at the University of Cambridge.

[3][4] Degregori was involved with the Maoist faction of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR) with Carlos Tapia.

[2] In 1982, after some leftists supported the Shining Path (SL) assault on the Ayacucho prison, Degregori wrote an article criticizing such a view, describing the attack as being carried out in a “distant border garrison of state power”.

His remains were kept vigil at the Church of La Recoleta in the historic center of Lima and then transferred to the British Cemetery for cremation after a funeral mass on May 20, 2011.
