Roots of Imperialism
1 total work
In the wake of the American invasion of Iraq and other recent foreign interventions, there has been a revival of interest in the history of empires and imperialism. The Inca and their Empire offers a critically-informed discussion of the archaeology of the Inca empire, discussing it in the context of the broader 'imperial experience' and in light of contemporary manifestations of imperialism. It is an excellent introduction to current scholarly debates on different aspects of Inca imperialism and its legacy in South America. This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars working on different aspects of pre-industrial empires, as well as those engaged in discussions of contemporary forms and trajectories of modern imperialism.
