The Vision Of The Vanquished: The Spanish Conquest Of Peru Through Indian Eyes, 1530 - 1570

This is a history of Mexico and Peru by the Spaniards as seen, not by the Spaniards themselves, whose vision has dominated historical writing, but through the eyes of the Indians. As such it is of considerable interest to sociologists & anthropologists as well as historians, and is not a work commonly available.
