The article offers a historical synthesis of the initial path of the APRA, from its origins in university reformism and the Popular University to 1945, in relation to the problematic of classical populisms. In analyzing this path, it reconstructs four successive historical moments: 1. Haya de la Torre and the birth of a national-popular political logic in the APRA's deterritorialized origins; 2. The APRA as the incarnation of a temporary concept of populism, according to its polemicists Mariátegui and Mella (1928-1930); 3. The emergence of the APRA as a populist movement in Peru, from below (outside the State) and from abroad (outside the national territory) (1930-1932); and 4. The APRA as a “populism without people” (without the scenography of people) during the “Great Clandestinity” (1932-1945). The movement led by Haya de la Torre is thus a phenomenon both relevant and eccentric in the study of the history of classical Latin American populisms.
