Description

This book offers an in depth account of Inca history, society, and culture in the course of the lens of archaeology, written documents, and ethnographic accounts of native Andeans. All the way through the Andes, public works ordained by the emperors of the Incas dominate and change into the natural landscape. Cities, temples and fortresses of stone, marvelously engineered roads cut through sheer mountain slopes, massive agricultural terraces, and hydraulic works are emblematic of Inca power. On this book, Alan L. Kolata examines how these awesome subject matter products came into being. What were the cultural institutions that gave impetus to the Incas’ imperial ambition? What type of power did the Incas exercise over their conquered provinces, a long way from the imperial capital of Cuzco? How did they mobilize the staggering labor force that sustained their war machine and built their empire? What sort of perceptions and spiritual beliefs informed Inca worldview?
