Download or read book An Inca Account of the Conquest of Peru written by Ralph Bauer and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available in English for the first time, An Inca Account of the Conquest of Peru is a firsthand account of the Spanish invasion, narrated in 1570 by Diego de Castro Titu Cusi Yupanqui - the penultimate ruler of the Inca dynasty - to a Spanish missionary and transcribed by a mestizo assistant. The resulting hybrid document offers an Inca perspective on the Spanish conquest of Peru, filtered through the monk and his scribe. Titu Cusi tells of his father's maltreatment at the hands of the conquerors; his father's ensuing military campaigns, withdrawal, and murder; and his own succession as ruler. Although he continued to resist Spanish attempts at "pacification," Titu Cusi entertained Spanish missionaries, converted to Christianity, and then, most importantly, narrated his story of the conquest to enlighten Emperor Phillip II about the behavior of the emperor's subjects in Peru. This vivid narrative illuminates the Incan view of the Spanish invaders and offers an important account of indigenous resistance, accommodation, change, and survival in the face of the European conquest. Informed by literary, historical, and anthropological scholarship, Bauer's introduction points out the hybrid elements of Titu Cusi's account, revealing how it merges native Andean and Spanish rhetorical and cultural practices. This new English edition will interest students of colonial Latin American history and culture and of Native American literatures.

Download or read book Peru s Indian Peoples and the Challenge of Spanish Conquest written by Steve J. Stern and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of Peru's Indian Peoples and the Challenge of Spanish Conquest includes Stern's 1992 reflections on the ten years of historical interpretation that have passed since the book's original publication--setting his analysis of Huamanga in a larger perspective. "This book is a monument to both scholarship and comprehension, comparable in its treatment of the indigenous peoples after the conquest only to that of Charles Gibson for the Aztecs, and perhaps the best volume read by this reviewer in several years."--Frederick P. Bowser, American Historical Review "Peru's Indian Peoples and the Challenge of Spanish Conquest is clearly indispensable reading for Andeanists and highly recommended to ethnohistorians generally. In technical respects it is a job done right, and conceptually it stands out as a handsome example of anthropology and history woven into one tight fabric of inquiry."--Frank Salomon, Ethnohistory

Download or read book usta the Inka love of Francisco Pizarro written by Rafael Olivares and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-07-09 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Rafael Olivares uses historical fiction to transcribe the recently found personal diary of Ñusta Yupanqui. The daughter and sister of Inkas, Ñusta was also the lover of Francisco Pizarro, the conqueror of Peru. Although she was an Inka princess and gave Pizarro the only children he ever had, the official history of the Spanish conquest ignores her. This novel suggests that, because she was in the middle of the struggle, the successes described in the diary could be the real history of the Spanish domination of the Inka Empire. Ñusta’s narrative not only presents the historical interpretation of the conquest as seen by the defeated but also reveals the existence of a treasure still hidden in the Andes Mountains. This Inka treasure is bigger than anything found until now.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charney (whose credentials and affiliation are not stated) examines several aspects of the social history of Lima's Indians. Coverage includes the sustained indigenous presence throughout the colonial period; issues of Indian land tenure; the rise of the Indian leadership class made up of both commoners and nobility; the Indian cofradia as a crucial, ethnic-supporting mechanism; the survival of the Indian family, and its adaptation of certain Spanish practices (godparenthood, will-making, dowries). The author argues that despite their incorporation of aspects of Spanish culture, the Indians retained a clear sense of their distinct identity as a people.

Download or read book Peruvian Prehistory written by Richard W. Keatinge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-03-10 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peruvian Prehistory offers an authoritative survey of the cultural evolution of Peru from the appearance of the first inhabitants around 10,000 BC to the arrival of the Spanish in 1534. The book is divided chronologically into three main parts, which examine in turn the highland and lowland zones in the Preceramic and Initial periods; the development of complex society at Chavin, Tiwanaku and Fluari and in the Moche and Nazca cultures; and the culmination of this process, the Pan-Andean empire of the Incas, and the way this can be studied through a combination of archaeology and ethnohistoric research. A fourth, concluding section deals with the often neglected tropical forest region of Peru and its formative influence on the evolution of Andean culture. The first collective assessment of Peruvian archaeology for a generation, this volume traces the processes of political, social and economic change in Andean civilisation in a manner that will attract many with no specialist interest in Peru.
