What Peru’s Dictator Left Behind
The New York Times

Abstract
I was born in Peru in 1992, the same year President Alberto Fujimori announced he was dissolving Congress and suspended the Constitution, performing what was later called a “self-coup.” He sent tanks through the streets and arrested journalists and his political opponents, while assuming full legislative and judicial powers. He turned a democratically elected government into a dictatorship that came to define modern Peru. As long as I can remember, I’ve only known my country under the shadow of Mr. Fujimori and his political movement: Fujimorismo.
