Description: "Innovative work challenges traditional views of Inca state development; suggests that incipient state growth in the Cuzco region was marked by the gradual consolidation and centralization of political authority in Cuzco, rather than resulting from a single military victory. Analyzes processes of political, economic, and social change, based on historical, ethnographic, and archeological data"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
