Reading Inca History (English, Catherine Julien)

Product description Review Drawing from the research of John Rowe, Roland Hamilton, and Pierre Duviols... as well as her own extensive investigations, Julien presents a closely reasoned and detailed analysis of Inca sources in an attempt to establish which materials represented historical reality.... Andean ethnologists should especially welcome her restrained but provocative contributions to Inca historiography. - History: Reviews of New Books ""Julien's deep reading of Inca history addresses ongoing debates in the subfield of Andean ethnohistory.... Julien uncovers persuasive evidence that would indicate the Inca elite had generated both 'genealogy' (of the Manco Capac lineage) and 'life history' (biographical profiles of the deeds of Inca dynasts)."" - Choice About the Author Catherine Julien is associate professor of history at Western Michigan University. She is the author of several books on the archaeology and ethnohistory of the Andes in the sixteenth century.
