Villages at the Crossroads
This essay joins a wave of innovative studies about the reducción general de los indios, a watershed moment in the history of Spanish colonialism in the Andes, by bringing the Jauja Valley into the conversation. Using a combined methodology of deep archival research and intensive field-walking archaeological surveys associated with the early reducciones, the article shows that, within a single valley and in response to local conditions, historica…

Andean Primordial Titles, Land Repossession, and the Rise of New Communities during the First General Land Inspection (1594–1602)
This essay presents the first comprehensive analysis of a series of land deeds prepared by the Laraos of Yauyos, Peru, during the First General Land Inspection to secure title to farm- and pasturelands. Scholars have shown the centrality of this first general inspection for the country’s agrarian history, but almost invariably reducing it to the appropriation of native lands and the formation of colonial rural estates. Many works have explored th…
Customs apart
In this essay, I interrogate a handful of rare village records to probe more deeply the participation of rural Native women in conflicts over inheritance in the central Andes during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. I focus on the wielding of written land titles, such as wills, certified lists of fields, fragments of land inspections, and writs of protection and possession, by these women as they claimed control over plots, homes, t…
We, the King
By exposing a preeminent fiction behind the Spanish Hapsburg petition-and-response system, this bold, innovative study bridges several important historiographies and contributes significantly to our understanding of how early modern empires came to be. By connecting earlier institutional and prosopographical studies with network analysis and the growing scholarship about seekers of justice and favor at the royal court, Adrian Masters brings the c…
Un empire à 3 000 m d’altitude
Inca L’appellation demeure mystérieuse. Elle désigne couramment la population qui aurait conquis la région de Cuzco puis étendu son contrôle à l’ensemble de la zone andine. A l’origine, le mot désignait sans doute non l’ethnie tout entière, mais plutôt une « caste » aristocratique dominante. Qhapaq Ñan Ce réseau de routes relie les sommets des Andes à la côte pacifique. Sur 30 000 km, il est composé de chaussées dallées sur les grands axes, sinon…
T ales of A ncestry , I nheritance, and P ossession
Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala's 1616 El primer nueva corónica y buen gobierno stands as the author's staggering attempt to obtain by privilege that which he could not secure through justice: status as a native lord and title to lands. Indeed, the last 20 years of the native chronicler's life as we know it, roughly from 1595 to 1615, are marked by the usual milestones of an ascending clerical career in the service of provincial priests, inspectors, …
Republics of Difference
Quienes nos interesamos por las historias conectadas de España y América hemos intuido un vínculo histórico e ideológico entre las repúblicas de musulmanes y judíos de la Península ibérica y las repúblicas de indios de los territorios de ultramar. Anclando este esperado e ingeniosamente documentado estudio en las aljamas de la Sevilla tardomedieval y los cabildos de indios del valle de Lima en el temprano periodo colonial, respectivamente, Karen …
Painting the Canvas of the Great Andean Uprising
This essay reviews the following works:Heaven, Hell, and Everything in Between: Murals of the Colonial Andes. By Ananda Cohen Suarez. Austin: University of Texas Press, 2016. Pp. xi + 304. 29.95 hardcover. ISBN: 9780674058255
A Troubled Marriage
Intermarriage between Europeans and Natives was not an uncommon sight across the colonial Americas, as Sean F. McEnroe shows in his lively exploration of Indigenous elites within post-Conquest societies. Beyond these literal marriages, however, the broader metaphor of the troubled or unequal marriage works in this book in two central ways. On a surface level, it refers to the “marriage of cultures and continents” that the lives and families of In…
Of Widows, Furrows, and Seed
Although much has been written about Indigenous land tenure in the Americas, colonial Andeanists still debate whether pre-Hispanic agropastoral communities held all pasture and farmland in common and, therefore, whether novel forms of private or individual control over land and its products were introduced only in the aftermath of the Iberian conquest. The alleged particularities of the Andean case vis-à-vis other regions for which historians acc…
Plateros para el Inca
Un documento de 1693 esclarece la labor de traducción de testimonios escritos en lengua general al castellano por parte de los intérpretes de los naturales de la Audiencia de Lima. El caso demuestra el uso oficial de la escritura en quechua como vehículo de la justicia ordinaria y refuerza la idea de que la labor de interpretación en un contexto plurilingüe como el del circuito de la Audiencia fue posible gracias al uso de una o más variantes est…
Calendars in Knotted Cords
Despite the critical advances toward khipu decipherment, the specific ways in which Andean khipu masters captured and organized the course of time in their cords, in the form of ages, dates, chronologies, and calendric intervals and cycles, remains obscure. This essay contributes to this central problem of knot making and reading traditions by enlisting the aid of an unlikely source: the memoirs of a mid-nineteenth-century gentleman who was given…
Andean Cosmopolitans
After the Spanish victories over the Inca claimed Tawantinsuyu for Charles V in the 1530s, native Andeans undertook a series of perilous trips from Peru to the royal court in Spain. Ranging from an indigenous commoner entrusted with delivering birds of prey for courtly entertainment to an Inca prince who spent his days amid titles, pensions, and other royal favors, these sojourners were both exceptional and paradigmatic. Together, they shared a c…
Guardianes de la real justicia
en un fenómeno de interlegalidad.Estos agentes locales jugaron un rol activo en la construcción del Derecho colonial y las dimensiones plurales del orden legal en San Damián de Urotambo
That Which Belongs to All
In recent years, scholars from a variety of fields have advanced the idea that native legal activism worked as one of the most widespread and effective strategies for the defense of communal assets, political autonomy, and customary law in early colonial Peru. Indigenous claimants, petitioners, and legal intermediaries begin to appear in the historical record just ten years after the initial encounter at Cajamarca in 1532. After embracing Iberian…

The Many Tongues of the King
General language interpreters of Lima's High Court of Appeal (Audiencia) played a significant part in gaining access to the Spanish system of justice for the indigenous populations of Peru. These interpreters worked as translators in lawsuits, notarial transactions, and other legal and administrative procedures conducted or supervised by the viceroy, the justices of the Audiencia, the public defender of the Indians, and other officials stationed …
Alcira Dueñas. Indians and Mestizos in the “Lettered City”
This book examines the works of six noncanonical Andean polemicists active from the mid-1600s until the late 1700s. Alcira Dueñas's insightful discussion of the works signed by Vicente Morachimo, Fray Calixto de San José Túpac Inca, Juan Núñez Vela de Rivera, and other lesser-known figures is aimed at showing that educated Andeans “fought their way into the ciudad letrada” (p. 3). In Ángel Rama's original formulation, the Lettered City referred e…
El quipu colonial
Los llamaron quipus o chinus y constituyen uno de los aportes más originales de las poblaciones andinas a la historia de la civilización. En la presente edición, quince especialistas discuten los múltiples usos y sucesivas permutaciones de estos cordeles anudados en varias regiones del virreinato peruano, echando por tierra la creencia generalizada de que fueron un instrumento exclusivamente inca imperial y se extinguieron luego de la conquista e…
Curacas "amigos de cristianos" y "traidores" a sus indios
Este ensayo se propone problematizar la tesis de la alianza hispano-huanca a partir de la discusión de tres asuntos. La primera parte se ocupa del contexto histórico en que los curacas de Jauja prepararon sus informaciones, concentrándose en el debate sobre la perpetuidad de las encomiendas y en las motivaciones de los curacas gestores de las probanzas de 1558-1561. Dicha sección identifica algunos argumentos compartidos por las probanzas y el ll…
Allies at Odds
This book is the first in-depth study of indigenous church officials in connection to literacy and legal activism in the Andes. John Charles revisits “mundane” sources from colonial ecclesiastical tribunals, which historians had hitherto used to trace Indian resistance to Catholicism, in order to bring to life the world of native bailiffs, prosecutors, sacristans, teachers, and choirmasters. These officials assisted priests with sacramental dutie…
Cuando el «punto de vista nativo» no es el punto de vista de los nativos
A fines del siglo XVI, Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala participó en una serie de disputas legales reclamando sus derechos a unas tierras ubicadas en la cercanía de la ciudad de Huamanga. Según su propia versión, él y otros parientes, quienes actuaban además como sus litigantes aliados, habían heredado dichas tierras de sus nobles antepasados, señores de todo el valle de Chupas. Tras engorrosas inspecciones, peticiones y decretos, los oficiales reales…
A costa de Su Majestad
Durante los siglos XVI y XVII cientos de súbditos indígenas cruzaron el Atlántico y llegaron al palacio real en Madrid para entrevistarse con el rey. Sus viajes revelan un dilema imperial: distintas cédulas prohibían el traslado de indios nobles y del común a la Península, pero otras cédulas reales y prácticas consuetudinarias advertían al Consejo de Indias y a la Casa de Contratación que no se debía forzar el retorno de estos visitantes al Perú.…

Los curacas hechiceros de Jauja
José Carlos de la Puente Luna en Los curacas hechiceros de Jauja explora la conexión entre los ámbitos más peligrosos y antiguos de la actividad humana: la política y la brujería. A través del seguimiento de las ásperas luchas que los huancas del valle del Mantaro libraron por el poder durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVII, este estudio desbroza las rivalidades entre familias de caciques que involucraron prácticas mágicas, cortes de brujas, hec…

La huella del intérprete
A partir de un documento inédito, este ensayo discute la participación de Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala como intérprete y asistente del juez encargado de la primera composición general de tierras en el valle de Jauja. La presencia del cronista en dicho valle sugiere nuevas pistas para desentrañar el problema de las fechas de redacción de la Nueva corónica. Además, el análisis de su experiencia con el visitador resulta crucial para entender sus idea…
