...En 1994 un grupo de empresarios peruanos adquirió el Banco Internacional del Perú, con la visión de convertirlo en una entidad financiera líder en banca personal, al servicio del todos los peruanos. Este sólido grupo empresarial peruano está marcando la diferencia en rubros tan diversos como supermercados, con Plaza Vea, Vivanda, Mass y Economax, seguros de vida y accidentes con Interseguro, hotelería con Casa Andina y entretenimiento con CinePlanet, la cadena más importante de comida rápida en Perú, Bembos y en farmacias, la recientemente adquirida Inkafarma, entre otros. SPSA, inició sus operaciones con el nombre de Supermercados Santa Isabel S.A. en 1993. La cadena creció durante la década de los noventa mediante la adquisición de las cadenas Mass y Top Market, y el arrendamiento del supermercado San Jorge. Gracias a estas adquisiciones, Santa Isabel se consolidó como la segunda cadena de supermercados en el Perú. En 1998, el grupo Holandés Royal Ahold, tercer minorista del mundo, se convirtió en copropietario de Santa Isabel, y fue incrementando su participación hasta asumir el control total de la empresa en mayo del 2002.

...Acknowledgments ix Acknowledgments This book owes a great deal to the mental energy of several generations of scholars. As an undergraduate at the University of Cape Town, Francis Wilson made me aware of the importance of migrant labour and Robin Hallett inspired me, and a generation of students, to study the African past.

I hope that some of his knowledge and understanding of Lusophone Africa has found its way into this book. I owe an equal debt to Shula Marks who, over the years, has provided me with criticism and inspiration. In the United States I learnt a great deal from ]eanne Penvenne, Marcia Wright and, especially, Leroy Vail. In Switzerland I benefitted from the friendship and assistance of Laurent Monier of the IUED in Geneva, Francois Iecquier of the University of Lausanne and Mariette Ouwerhand of the dépurtement évangélrlyue (the former Swiss Mission). In South Africa, Patricia Davison of the South African Museum introduced me to material culture and made me aware of the richness of difference; the late Monica Wilson taught me the fundamentals of anthropology and Andrew Spiegel and Robert Thornton struggled to keep me abreast of changes in the discipline; Sue Newton-King and Nigel Penn brought shafts of light from the eighteenthcentury to bear on early industrialism. Charles van Onselen laid a major part of the intellectual foundations on...
