This collection of essays by scholars from the Andes, Europe and
the United States was originally published in the French journal
Annales as a special double issue entitled The Historical
Anthropology of Andean Societies. It combines the perspectives of
archaeology, anthropology and history to present a complex view of
Andean societies over various millenia. The unique features of the
Andean landscape, the impact of the Inka state on different regions
and ethnic groups, the transformations wrought through the colonial
presence and the creation of nineteenth-century republics are all
analysed, as are the profound continuities in some aspects of
Andean culture and social organisation to the present day. The book
reflects some of the most innovative research that occurred in the
1970s and 80s. Apart from its substantive interest for students of
the Andes and American civilisations in general, it shows the
possibility of closer collaboration between history and
anthropology.
