The Tupac Amaru Rebellion

Dr. Charles Walker, Professor of History and Director of the Hemispheric Institute on the Americas at the University of California, Davis, presents a talk and discussion on his book, The Tupac Amaru Rebellion, published April 2014 on Harvard University Press.

From HUP’s home page: 

Charles Walker immerses readers in the rebellion’s guerrilla campaigns, propaganda war, and brutal acts of retribution. He highlights the importance of Bastidas—the key strategist—and reassesses the role of the Catholic Church in the uprising’s demise. The Tupac Amaru Rebellion examines why a revolt that began as a multiclass alliance against European-born usurpers degenerated into a vicious caste war—and left a legacy that continues to influence South American politics today."
