From Two Republics to One Divided - Contradictions of Postcolonial Nationmaking in Andean Peru

"Theoretically engaged and narratively engaging, this smartly crafted volume beams light into the darkest corners of 19th-century Andean historiography. In the process, Thurner provides one of the most provocative treatments of peasant political culture I've read in years."--Gil Joseph, Yale University
