Class description
In this course we will follow the history of Peru specifically and the Andean highlands more generally from Inca times to the twenty-first century, paying particular attention to the complex, shifting relationship between peasant communities, indigenous peoples, and the state. In doing so, we will seek to understand why peasant and indigenous political power in the Andes today differs so radically between Peru and the region's other heavily indigenous nations, Bolivia and Ecuador.
