Christine Hunefeldt
- Reading
- Use the chronology to orient yourselves across the long span, then pause at periods your reader wants to explore; the suggested reading can offer a next step.
- Themes
- Conquest, colonisation and independence: The narrative moves from the Inca Empire through Spanish conquest and colonisation to Peru’s independence in 1821. These major transitions are part of the book’s historical overview.
- Political change: The book includes recent-to-its-publication political developments and ends with Alejandro Toledo’s election in 2001. Political change is included as part of the wider national history.
- Worth knowing
- Pay particular attention to violence and harm.
