"Anthology of six essays on the indigenous uprisings of 1780-82 by a leading authority. Three of the essays do not appear to have been previously published: no. 3, on elite trade and power in Cuzco following the uprisings; no. 5, on the ritual calendar of the uprisings; and no. 6, on the relationship between the uprisings and the Bourbon reforms. Essay no. 2, previously published, deals with the Inca nobility's attitude toward and role in the rebellion"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
