José María Arguedas' Peruvian short story "Warma Kuyay (Amor de niño)" culminates with the punishment of a calf, as a result of the white landlord's sexual violation of Justina, an indigenous woman. This article argues that that theoretical discussions in ecotheology offer fruitful tools for analysing the story, resonating with Andean cosmologies and enabling us to think more seriously about Arguedas' intersectional theological thoughts. "Warma Kuyay" prefaces theological ecocriticism, foreseeing current developments in liberation theology which do not just emphasise class, but other categories of identity.
