Reading Inca History
Publisher: University Of Iowa Press | ISBN: 0877457255 | edition 2000 | PDF | 335 pages | 1,10 mb
At the heart of this book is the controversy over whether Inca history can and should be read as history. Did the Incas narrate a true reflection of their past, and did the Spaniards capture these narratives in a way that can be meaningfully reconstructed? In Reading Inca History, Catherine Julien finds that the Incas did indeed create detectable life histories.
