The Inca Concept of Sovereignty and the Spanish Administration in Peru

""The Inca Concept of Sovereignty and the Spanish Administration in Peru"" by Charles Gibson is a scholarly work that explores the complex relationship between the Inca Empire and the Spanish colonial administration in Peru. The book delves into the Inca concept of sovereignty, which was based on a complex system of alliances and obligations between the emperor, the nobility, and the common people. The Spanish, on the other hand, imposed a more centralized and hierarchical system of government based on the European feudal model. Gibson examines the ways in which these two systems clashed and interacted during the early colonial period, as the Spanish attempted to consolidate their control over the Andean region. He also looks at the various ways in which the Inca legacy influenced the Spanish administration, from the use of indigenous labor to the incorporation of Inca legal concepts into the colonial legal system. Through a meticulous examination of primary sources, including colonial documents and indigenous accounts, Gibson provides a nuanced and detailed analysis of the complex cultural and political dynamics of colonial Peru. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of colonial Latin America, as well as anyone interested in the history of indigenous peoples and their interactions with European colonizers.University Of Texas Institute Of Latin-America Studies, V4.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
