History of the Inca Realm is a classic work of ethnohistorical research that has been both influential and provocative in the field of Andean prehistory. Maria Rostworowski uses a great variety of published and unpublished documents and secondary works by Latin American, North American, and European scholars to examine topics such as the mythical origins of the Incas, the expansion of the Inca state, the political role of women, the vast trading networks of the coastal merchants, and the causes of the disintegration of the Inca state in the face of a small force of Spaniards. Review In sum, this book is an excellent Baedeker to Rostworowskis fundamental contributions with respect to the documentation and interpretation of pre-Hispanic Andean political economy. Alan L. Kolata, American Historical Review This is a masterful work, which presents the most complete single volume treatment of the Incas available in English.
