7. Waldo Frank titled his book about the entire hemisphere Our America (New York: Boni and Liveright, 1919). Translated in references as Nuestru América, it was, for example, an inspiration and model for José Carlos Mariátegui, the major theorist of a particularized, Peruvian Marxism. Another disciple of Frank may be Walter Benn Michaels
