Description

The development of the Inca Empire used to be complex and regularly paradoxical. This lavishly illustrated volume, in line with extensive archaeological research and Spanish colonial documentation, provides essential insights into many questions and contradictions in regards to the Inca Empire.

The Inca World carefully examines the social, economic, political, and spiritual systems that characterized the Inca Empire from its earliest times. The book begins by examining the pre-Inca Late Intermediate Period (A.D. 1000-1450), including a geographic and cultural overview of historic Peru and Inca textiles, architecture, and ceramics. The second one half covers the Inca Horizon (A.D. 1450 – 1543), the era of imperial expansion, explaining how Incas achieved social and cultural unity at the same time as allowing more than a few ethnic groups to handle their own identity.
