This volume expands the range of scholarship available in English by collecting new and notable research on Qullasuyu, the largest of the four quarters of the empire, which extended south from Cuzco into contemporary Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile.</p><p>From the study of Qullasuyu arise fresh theoretical perspectives that both complement and challenge what we think we know about the Inka. While existing scholarship emphasizes the political and economic rationales underlying state action, <em>Rethinking the Inka</em> turns to the conquered themselves and reassesses imperial motivations. The books chapters, incorporating more than two hundred photographs, explore relations between powerful local lords and their Inka rulers; the roles of nonhumans in the social and political life of the empire; local landscapes remade under Inka rule; and the appropriation and reinterpretation by locals of Inka objects, infrastructure, practices, and symbols. Written by some of South Americas leading archaeologists, <em>Rethinking the Inka</em> is poised to be a landmark book in the field.</p>...4319688Rethinking the Inka11231247https://www.gandhi.com.mx/rethinking-the-inka-9781477323878/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4262587/image.jpg?v=638446573355270000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20229781477323878_W3siaWQiOiIxYjIyYWExMi0xODc2LTRmNTAtYjcxMy01ODc0YjEwZjZlMjYiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjEyNDcsImRpc2NvdW50IjoxMjQsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MTEyMywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781477323878_<p>The Inka conquered an immense area extending across five modern nations, yet most English-language publications on the Inka focus on governance in the area of modern Peru.
