The World of Tupac Amaru: Conflict, Community, and Identity in Colonial Peru

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Academic Text
Review: I read this book for a course I am taking in Atlantic Civilizations. Stavig goes in depth in creating a picture of the life of the desendents of the Inca's in Peru. Even though many sources are from the Spanish colonial records, there are ample references to native sources. It was eye-opening information about a culture that has my fullest admiration. Only towards the end that all the background history is linked and tied to Tupac Amaru. Study the glossary at the end of the book first to help you understand the text, since Stavig prefers to use the original term instead of the translation. Excellent reading!
