The Tupac Amaru and Catarista Rebellions: An Anthology of Sources
This volume represents a true breakthrough. The indigenous uprisings of the late eighteenth century in the Andes form one of the most dramatic chapters in colonial Latin American history. Yet until now there has been no set of original documents from the period available in the English language. Ward Stavig and Ella Schmidt have worked assiduously to make this material available and the resulting book is impressive in its breadth and depth. It covers a long span of the eighteenth century and the major regional theaters of insurgency. It will be of great value to scholars, teachers, and students. --(Sinclair Thomson, Department of History, New York University). . . this endeavor provides a wealth of material to study when consulting scholarship on the rebellions. . . .
