Reviews

""Andean Worlds" would serve as an excellent introduction to Andean colonial history and/or Indigenous culture, history, economics, and politics. This book would also be of interest to those interested in colonial studies more generally. . . . Few scholars are able to succesfully present this type of 'big picture' analysis of nearly three centuries of history but Andrien's book is intellectually stimulating while being both concise and readable."

"Andrien does an excellent job of synthesizing the best original scholarship, while always bringing out the most interesting anecdotes and characters."

"Andrien's "Andean Worlds" is an impressive synthetic work that integrates a vast amount of scholarship from all fields to give a comprehensive picture of the experiences of native Andeans under colonialism. The book is not only packed with information; it is clearly and elegantly written."

"Kenneth J. Andrien's "Andean Worlds: Indigenous History, Culture and Consciousness under Spanish Rule, 1532-1825" is a well-written, accessible volume that traces the history of the Andean people and their culture before and during Spanish rule."
