By the time of Columbus, the people of Ecuador's tropical highlands
had created small but remarkably complex and interlinked political
societies. These small societies for many years proved able to
fight off the overwhelming might of the Inca state. But around 1500
they fell to Inca invaders who, in turn, soon lost their dominion
to Spanish warlords. Frank Salomon draws on large stores of sources
to reconstruct the political and economic institutions of pre-Inca
societies. Their structure before and during the Inca interlude
reveals diversity in the Andean world. Salomon provides remarkable
insight into the functioning of these 'chiefdoms', emphasizing
their importance for the understanding of rank, inequality,
privilege and central power in stateless societies. He also
contributes to our understanding of expansion, colonization, and
the adaptive relationships between indigenous and imposed regimes
in a context of precapitalist statecraft.
