- Synopsis
- Hunefeldt (history, U. of California, San Diego) traces the history of Peru from its ancient civilizations established around the second millennium B.C.E. to the present day. Coverage includes the Inca Empire; colonial Peru; the Bourbon reforms; the Wars of Independence during the late-18th and early-19th centuries; the early decades of the 20th century, characterized by economic depression and conflicts; dictatorships and reform in the mid-20th century; the agrarian reform and the Shining Path, during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s; and new structures and leadership during the past decade. The appendices include basic facts about Peru, a chronology, an extensive bibliography, and a list of recommended reading grouped by topic. Academic but accessible to the general reader.
