AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document analyzes how various Andean regions, varying in cultural complexity, fared under Inka rule. 'In some regions multiethnic kingdoms that had practiced colonization on their own endured Inka rule without much internal change. The ethnically stratified altiplano kingdom of Lupaqa, for example, colonized territories as distant as the Pacific coast long before the Inka advent. According to Pease, Lupaqa's internal organization changed little even after the Inka resettled some of its altiplano population and began to exact ribute. At the other extreme, the independent communities of the Chachapoyas region at the tropical forest fringes of Inka expansion, for example, resembled stateless societies until the Inka imposed YANA retainers as CURACAS having administrative authority and control at the local level. Pease concludes that the monolithic character of Inka state control suggested by the Cuzco-centered view of the chroniclers was a misrepresentation of the substantial regions diversty in multiethnic stratification and in level and quality of articulation to the state (p. 173)'
