The modern world began with the clash of civilisations between
Spaniards and native Americans. Their interplay and struggles ever
since are mirrored in the fates of the very languages they spoke.
The conquistadors wrought theirs into a new 'world language'; yet
the Andes still host the New World's greatest linguistic survivor,
Quechua. Historians and linguists see this through different - but
complementary - perspectives. This book is a meeting of minds, long
overdue, to weave them together. It ranges from Inca collapse to
the impacts of colonial rule, reform, independence, and the
modern-day trends that so threaten native language here with its
ultimate demise.
