The volume's "reconsidered" framing — a decade after the original 1975 The Peruvian Experiment — makes it the historiographical inflection point at which the academy moved from contemporary engagement to historical assessment.
Julio Cotler, Clases, Estado y Nación en el Perú (Instituto de Estudios Peruanos, 1978; revised editions 1982, 1992, 2005).

Linda J. Seligmann, Between Reform and Revolution: Political Struggles in the Peruvian Andes, 1969–1991 (Stanford University Press, 1995).

Alfred Stepan, The State and Society: Peru in Comparative Perspective (Princeton University Press, 1978). The principal comparative-political-science treatment, framing the Velasco regime in the "inclusionary corporatist" rather than the "bureaucratic-authoritarian" pole of Latin American military regimes — distinguishing Peru's 1968–1975 trajectory from the Brazilian (1964), Argentine (1966; 1976), and Chilean (1973) cases.
E. V. K. Fitzgerald, The Political Economy of Peru, 1956–1978: Economic Development and the Restructuring of Capital (Cambridge University Press, 1979).

The source for the disinflation arithmetic and the conditionality architecture that drove the Bermúdez-era austerity.
Caretas, Oiga, Equis X, and El Comercio archival editions, 1968–1980, with particular attention to the 28 July 1969 announcement-day coverage of the agrarian reform, the August 1975 Tacnazo coverage, the 5 February 1977 strike coverage, and the July 1977 paro nacional coverage. Caretas under the editorship of Enrique Zileri provided the principal investigative-journalistic record of the period, including its repeated closures and reopenings during the regime's media-intervention phase (1974 onward).
