"This edited volume offers new perspectives from leading scholars on the important work of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega (1539-1616), one of the first Latin American writers to present an intellectual analysis of pre-Columbian history and culture and the ensuing colonial period. To the contributors, Inca Garcilaso's Royal Commentaries of the Incas presented an early counter-hegemonic discourse and a reframing of the history of native non-alphabetic cultures that undermined the colonial rhetoric of his time and the geopolitical divisions it purported. Through his research in both Andean and Renaissance archives, Inca Garcilaso sought to connect these divergent cultures into one world. This collection offers five classical studies of Royal Commentaries previously unavailable in English, along with seven new essays that cover topics including Andean memory, historiography, translation, philosophy, trauma, and ethnic identity. This cross-disciplinary volume will be of interest to students and scholars of Latin American history, culture, comparative literature, subaltern studies, and works in translation"--

Presents the first full-length study to treat both parts of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega's foundational text, "Royal Commentaries of the Incas," as a seminal work of political thought in the formation of the early Americas and the early modern period. It is also among a handful of studies to explore the "Commentaries" as "mestizo rhetoric," written to subtly address both native Andean readers and Hispano-Europeans. As the author demonstrates, by blending Andean and European discourses to represent Inca history, Garcilaso further proposed restoring indigenous sovereignty by adopting a new mestizo governing body via the political alliance and intermarriage of encomenderos (estate holders) and Incas. This policy extended to education, missionary, and other practices, reflecting Garcilaso's hopes of forming a peaceful coexistence among native Andeans, mestizos, and first-generation Spaniards.
