Disruptive Voices and the Singularity of Histories

The series includes critical, comparative, analytical, and narrative studies involving all aspects and subfields of anthropology. Volume 13, Disruptive Voices and the Singularity of Histories, explores the interplay of identities and scholarship through the history of anthropology, with a special section examining fieldwork predecessors and indigenous communities in Native North America. Individual contributions explore the complexity of women's history, indi...
Rethinking the Andes–Amazonia Divide
Nowhere on Earth is there an ecological transformation so swift and so extreme as between the snow-line of the high Andes and the tropical rainforest of Amazonia. The different disciplines that research the human past in South America have long tended to treat these two great subzones of the continent as self-contained enough to be taken independently of each other. Objections have repeatedly been raised, however, to warn against imagining too sharp a divide between the people and societies of the Andes and Amazonia, when there are also clear indications of significant connections and transitions between them. Rethinking the Andes–Amazonia Divide brings together archaeologists, linguists, ...
Spanish King Of The Incas
Described in his lifetime as “mad,” “a dreamer,” “quixotic,” and “a lunatic,” Pedro Bohorques is one of the most fascinating personalities of Spanish colonial America. A common man from an ordinary Andalusian family, he sought his fortune in the new world as a Renaissance adventurer. Smitten with the idea of the mythical cities of gold, Bohorques led a series of expeditions into the jungles of Peru searching for the paradise of El Dorado. Having mastered the Quechua language of the countryside, he presented himself as a descendent of Inca royalty and quickly rose to power as a king among the Calchaquíes of Tucumán. He was later arrested and executed by the crown for his par...
Jurisdictional Battlefields
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library as part of the Opening the Future project with COPIM. This book examines three expeditions by the Spanish to the borders of Charcas, a district that covers present-day Bolivia and the northwest of Argentina, in the second half of the sixteenth century, using an approach that has not been attempted until now. Scholarship on these events has framed them as part of a gradual top-down process of centralisation driven by the Crown to extend its power and build a colonial ‘state’ in the Americas. This book challenges that view, approaching the expeditions through an analysis of the ...
The Oxford Handbook of Borderlands of the Iberian World
This Handbook integrates innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to the production of Iberian imperial borderlands in the Americas, from southwestern U.S. to Patagonia, and their connections to trade and migratory circuits extending to Asia and Africa. In this volume borderlands comprise political boundaries, spaces of ethnic and cultural exchange, and ecological transitions.
Domination Without Dominance

Pueblos indígenas en Abiayala
¿Cómo decidimos qué se investiga en los centros académicos acerca de los indígenas en Abiayala? ¿Lo decidimos realmente? ¿Cuánto hay de moda, de inercia, de innovación en los temas que elegimos? ¿Puede decirse que hay agendas de investigación sobre estos temas, y si fuera así, cómo se van configurando? ¿Qué factores inciden en que algunos temas tengan más presencia que otros? ¿Qué grado de importancia tendría la presencia de las y los investigadores indígenas en las universidades? ¿Cuánto afecta el hecho de que haya líneas de financiamiento disponibles para ciertos temas? ¿Cuánto influyen las historias de cómo se desarrollaron disciplinas como la historiografía y l...
Historia del agro argentino
La primera síntesis de conjunto de la evolución del agro en la Argentina, en todo el territorio y desde la colonia a nuestros días. A pesar de la importancia que tiene el agro en la sociedad argentina, han sido escasos los intentos de indagar en su evolución a lo largo de la historia. Este libro construye una síntesis del desarrollo rural de todo el país: comienza con el análisis de las comunidades indígenas y continúa con la construcción del mundo agrícola colonial, la conformación de las nuevas economías agrarias a partir de la independencia, la expansión ganadera en la primera mitad del siglo XIX y el crecimiento de distintas economías regionales. El estudio avanza sobre el...
