Sociétés des Andes

"Structured overview of Andean civilization since 12,000 B.C.E. describes Incas in terms of myth, cosmology, political and economic organization, and technology. Colonial history includes sections on ayllus, kurakas, identity, tribute, and haciendas. One-half of the book deals with modern history, including agrarian reforms of the 1960s-70s, development of the state, and Andean culture"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
