Why Was Louis Riel, a United States Citizen, Hanged as a Canadian Traitor in 1885
In what sense was Louis Riel, a foreign citizen who had formally renounced his allegiance to Britain, a traitor to the Queen? And why did his adopted country, the United States, do nothing to protect him? Since the Canadian Naturalization Act of 1881 for the first time permitted emigrants to renounce their British allegiance, Riel’s legal status was no different from that of any foreigner, and to charge a foreigner with treason was unusual and co…

A Child Marriage in Early Colonial Cuzco
This article examines an arranged marriage between a seven-year-old Inka girl and an adult Spanish man, and the prosecution that followed. Historians of marriage in the early modern Hispanic world have found broad support for the principle of free consent, which underlay Catholic marriage law and prohibited child marriage. Child marriage was legally invalid and rare. Yet, in this case none of the participants, whether Spanish or indigenous, in fa…

The Return of Hans Staden: A Go-between in the Atlantic World, written by Eve M. Duffy and Alida C. Metcalf
Sergio Serulnikov. Revolution in the Andes: The Age of Túpac Amaru. Charles F. Walker. The Tupac Amaru Rebellion
The Tupac Amaru and Katarista rebellions were a cycle of indigenous uprisings between Cusco and Potosí in 1780–1782, which claimed over 100,000 lives, primarily indigenous, out of a population of 1.5 million, before being crushed by colonial authorities. They have received excellent local studies, but no modern synthetic treatment. The books under review both meet that description, but they are complementary rather than redundant. Sergio Serulnik…
Object and Apparition: Envisioning the Christian Divine in the Colonial Andes
The subject of this book is the relationship between three- and two-dimensional divine images—that is, religious statues and paintings—in the colonial central Andes. It focuses as case studies on three statues of Christ and the Virgin and the representations of those statues in paintings: the Virgin of the Rosary in Pomata, the Virgin of the Purification in Copacabana, and the Lord of the Earthquakes in Cuzco. Maya Stanfield-Mazzi shows that stat…
Los Incas en la colonia: Estudios sobre los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII en los Andes
The book under review is a posthumous collection of articles by the Peruvian ethnohistorian Franklin Pease (1939–1999). The essays were published, largely in the 1980s and 1990s, in journals and edited volumes in Peru, Spain, and elsewhere, many of which are now hard to find. Focused on indigenous ethnohistory in colonial Peru, the collection includes classic and highly influential essays along with more ephemeral pieces, illustrating the arc of …
History and Language in the Andes
This volume, edited by a linguist and a historian, has a programmatic agenda: persuading Andean linguists and historians to work together. Along with a companion volume, Archaeology and Language in the Andes, it seeks to revive the interdisciplinary spirit of the golden age of Andean ethnohistory from the 1960s to the 1980s. Since then, linguists and linguistic anthropologists have made major progress in areas such as Quechua dia-lectology and th…

Vertical Empire: The General Resettlement of Indians in the Colonial Andes
In 1569 the Spanish viceroy Francisco de Toledo ordered more than one million native people of the central Andes to move to newly founded Spanish-style towns called reducciones. This campaign, known as the General Resettlement of Indians, represented a turning point in the history of European colonialism: a state forcing an entire conquered society to change its way of life overnight. But while this radical restructuring destroyed certain aspects…
Francisco de Toledo, admirador y émulo de la «tiranía» inca
El virrey Francisco de Toledo (1569-1581) denostaba y admiraba a los incas al mismo tiempo. Sorprendentemente, alababa y condenaba a la vez diversos aspectos que él identificó en el gobierno de aquellos. Para dar una justificación legal de la conquista española del Tawantinsuyu, Toledo y sus asesores se propusieron demostrar que las prácticas políticas de los incas encajaban con la definición de la tiranía en el derecho castellano, que se basaba …

Litigation as Ethnography in Sixteenth-Century Peru: Polo de Ondegardo and the Mitimaes
Scholars of colonialism have drawn attention to the link between litigation and ethnography. In nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Asia and Africa, European colonizers frequently tried to adjudicate local disputes according to conquered people's own laws, which they therefore investigated and codified (creating much invented tradition in the process). This paper explores that link in sixteenth-century Spanish Peru, where, to a remarkable ext…

Andean Worlds: Indigenous History, Culture, and Consciousness under Spanish Rule, 1532-1825
This book fills an important gap for students and nonspecialists on the colonial history of indigenous Andean peoples. Andrien draws freely on a tremendous outpouring of recent scholarship by historians, anthropologists, literary scholars, and art historians in Europe and the Americas. In particular, he introduces students to the vivid historical figures who make this subject so exciting for those who study it, from the early colonial chronicler …
Vasco de Quiroga: Utopía y derecho en la conquista de AméricaLa construcción de la utopía: El proyecto de Felipe II (1556-1598) para Hispanoamérica
The two books under review reflect a resurgence of interest in the concept of “utopia” in the early modern Spanish empire. Serrano Gassent’s Vasco de Quiroga is an intellectual study of the first bishop of Michoacan (1538–65), whose political thought was utopian in the strict sense: it was directly influenced by a reading of Sir Thomas More’s Utopia (1516), which Quiroga sought to put into effect in America. (The current book is a companion volum…
The Last Conquistador: Mansio Serra de Leguizamón and the Conquest of the Incas
Mansio Serra de Leguizamón has been called a rogue and a liar. As an encomendero in early colonial Cuzco, Peru, he told elaborate tales of his exploits in the conquest of the Inca empire. Among other boasts, he claimed to have received the Incas’ golden idol of the sun, stolen from their temple in Cuzco, and lost it gambling that very night. This reckless deed became legendary, inspiring a popular expression “to gamble the sun before the dawn” (p…
The Taki Onqoy and the Andean Nation: Sources and Interpretations
In the 1530s, a handful of Spaniards conquered an immense Andean empire. Thirty years later, some Andean subjects of what was by then an immense Spanish empire resolved not to worship the Spaniards' God. Their resistance was associated with a Quechua ritual phrase, “Taki Onqoy,” usually translated literally as “disease of the dance.” This movement was suppressed rapidly by Spanish authority and left no traces except in a few Spanish documents
