Summary: | The Inka tradition follows the Huari and Tiwanaku periods through the development of the Inka empire to the Spanish conquest and dates to 800-400 B.P. The Incan empire united city states across the Andean region. This collection consists of 23 documents, including important primary sources dating to the period of the Spanish conquest which detail Inka social organization, customs, and religion (Pedro de Cieza de León, Bernabé Cobo, Felipe Guamán Poma de Ayala, Juan Polo de Ondegardo; selections from Narratives of the rites and laws of the Yncas, including Polo de Ondegardo, Pachacuti-Yamqui Salcamayhua and Garcilasso de la Vega). Rowe and Zuidema use the primary sources to examine Inka society. Bauer uses material culture to describe the Cuzco ceque system. Hyslop describes Inkan-built settlements. Murra looks at economic and social organization before the Spanish conquest. Silverblatt compares gender issues from before the Inka empire to after the Spanish conquest; Costin examines the role of women in textile prdocution. D'Altroy examines the interaction between the Inka and the conquered ethnic groups; this and related topics are examined in detail in selections from Inca and Aztec states, 1400-1800 (Pease G.Y., Murra, Wachtel, Rowe, Julien and Morris).
