Abstract

Clements R. Markham (1830-1916) began his career in the Royal Navy, sailing to South America, learning Spanish, and participating in the Arctic search for Sir John Franklin. In 1852, determined to succeed as an explorer and geographer, he travelled to Peru and visited the site of the ancient city of Cuzco, previously little known in Europe. Published in 1856, this is Markham's lively account of his travels. In his description of arriving in Panama we see a picture of the mid-nineteenth-century eagerness to explore (or exploit) Latin America. Markham's stay in Cuzco allowed him ample time to study the ruins and research the lost Inca civilisation, and also gave him his introduction to the properties of the cinchona plant, a source of quinine, which he later returned to collect and introduce to India, as described in his 1862 Travels in Peru and India (also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection).

Abstract

The historical narratives of the Inca dynasty, known to us through Spanish records, present several discrepancies that scholarship has long attributed to the biases and agendas of colonial actors. Drawing on a redefinition of royal descent and a comparative literary analysis of primary sources, this book restores the pre-Hispanic voices embedded in the chronicles. It identifies two distinctive bodies of Inca oral traditions, each of which encloses a mutually conflicting representation of the past that, considered together, reproduces patterns of Cuzco’s moiety division. Building on this new insight, the author revisits dual representations in the cosmology and ritual calendar of the ruling elite. The result is a fresh contribution to ethnohistorical works that have explored native ways of constructing history.

Abstract

Drawing on a year of qualitative on-site research, Krista E. Van Vleet offers a rich ethnography of a group of young mothers in residential care in Peru. She pays particular attention to the moral entanglements that emerge via people's efforts to provide care amid the inequalities and insecurities of today's Peru. State and nonstate participants involved in the women's intimate lives influence how the women see themselves as mothers, students, and citizens. Both deserving of care and responsible for caring for others, the young women must navigate practices interwoven with a range of racial, gendered, and class hierarchies. Groundbreaking and original, Hierarchies of Care highlights the moral engagement of young women seeking to understand themselves and their place in society in the presence of circumstances that are both precarious and full of hope.

Abstract

In the early twentieth century, Peruvian intellectuals, unlike their European counterparts, rejected biological categories of race as a basis for discrimination. But this antiracist ideology did not eliminate social hierarchies; instead, it redefined racial categories as cultural differences, such as differences in education or manners. In "Indigenous Mestizos", Marisol de la Cadena traces the history of the notion of race from this turn-of-the-century definition to a current denial of the definition's scientific validity. De la Cadena's ethnographically and historically rich study examines how indigenous citizens of the city of Cuzco have been conceived by others as well as how they have viewed themselves and places these conceptions within the struggle for political identity and representation.Demonstrating that the terms Indian and mestizo are complex, ambivalent, and influenced by social, legal, and political changes, she provides close readings of everyday concepts such as marketplace identity, religious ritual, grassroots dance, and popular culture, as well as of such common terms as respect, decency, and education. She shows how Indian has come to mean an indigenous person without economic and educational means - one who is illiterate, impoverished, and rural. Mestizo, on the other hand, has come to refer to an urban, usually literate, and economically successful person claiming indigenous heritage and participating in indigenous cultural practices.De la Cadena argues that this version of de-Indianization - which, rather than assimilation, is a complex political negotiation for a dignified identity - does not cancel the economic and political equalities of racism in Peru, although it has made room for some people to reclaim a decolonised Andean cultural heritage. This highly original synthesis of diverse theoretical arguments brought to bear on a series of case studies will be of interest to scholars of cultural anthropology, post-colonialism, race and ethnicity, gender studies, and history, in addition to Latin Americanists.

Abstract

Entre las muchas páginas aún desconocidas de nuestra historia, figura el tema de cómo se vivió más allá de Lima, el bullente nacimiento de la república peruana. Valiéndose del estudio de los periódicos del Cuzco desde los primeros años de la Independencia, hasta el final de la confederación peruano boliviana, el historiador Luis Miguel Glave, logra reconstruir con brillantez cómo se fue abordando en la que fuera la última capital virreinal, la idea de patria, de región, de identidad; en cierto sentido, como él mismo lo señala, cómo nos fuimos inventando y reconociendo como miembros de una de esas novísimas comunidades políticas que habían adoptado el nombre de "repúblicas" (por contraste al modelo de las "monarquías", más asentadas en el momento). El estudio de aquellos periódicos, los más de ellos de efímera vida, con nombres como "El cocacho", "El fiera-bras", "El duende" o "El triunfo de la libertad", permiten conocer la vida cotidiana de la que entonces era la segunda o tercera ciudad del Perú, agitada por las pasiones políticas de los caudillos regionales y por los deseos de una élite intelectual por forjar un proyecto de futuro para una región que, como muchas otras de América Latina, se embarcaba en un destino histórico casi sin antecedentes.

Abstract

The reception of the 'discovery', conquest and colonisation of Spanish America spawned a rich imaginative literature. The case studies presented in this book represent two distinct types of imagining by two diametrically different groups: literate, and in some cases erudite Europeans, and a vanquished native nobility. The former endeavoured to make sense of Spain's (and Portugal's) 'marvellous possessions' in the New World with the limited conceptual tools at their disposal, the latter to construct a colonial identity based on their shared ancestral memory while incorporating elements from the even more wondrous Hispanic culture that had overwhelmed them.
