The Inca Empire: The Formation and Disintegration of a Pre-Capitalist State (Explorations in Anthropology)

By Thomas C. Patterson

Book Overview

The last of the Andean civilizations, Inca society was the product of complex historical and social processes of class and state formation. This study examines the contradictions, tensions and conflicts these processes engendered and explores the involvement of Europeans in Andean life after the 1530s as it resulted in new forms of exploitation and repression.
