Through a wide variety of primary sources--including letters, eyewitness accounts, and governmental documents--this collection portrays in vivid detail the three indigenous rebellions that threatened Spanish control of its South American colonies more than a quarter century before the Wars of Independence (1808-1825). Headnotes introduce each selection, and a general introduction provides historical, cultural, and political context. Maps, a chronology of the rebellions, and a glossary of terms are included.

This volume represents a true breakthrough. The indigenous uprisings of the late eighteenth century in the Andes form one of the most dramatic chapters in colonial Latin American history. Yet until now there has been no set of original documents from the period available in the English language. Ward Stavig and Ella Schmidt have worked assiduously to make this material available and the resulting book is impressive in its breadth and depth. It covers a long span of the eighteenth century and the major regional theaters of insurgency. It will be of great value to scholars, teachers, and students. --Sinclair Thomson, Department of History, New York University
. . . this endeavor provides a wealth of material to study when consulting scholarship on the rebellions. . . . Highly recommended. --K. Cleland-Sipfle, CHOICE
This anthology of primary sources offers a window into the most vivid aspects of the Indian-based rebellions that spread through Peru and Bolivia between 1780 and 1783. . . . This sourcebook is, above all, a rich, well-constructed, and careful selection of relevant testimonies about a defining moment in the crisis of Spanish colonialism. --Jose C. de la Puente, Texas Christian University, for H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online
