Language, Authority, and Indigenous History in the Commentarios reales de los Incas

The Comentarios reales de los incas, a classic of Spanish Renaissance prose narrative, was written by Garcilaso Inca de la Vega, the son of an Inca princess and a Spanish conquistador. It is full of ideological tensions and apparent contradictions as Garcilaso attempts to reconcile a pagan new-world culture with the fervent Christian evangelism of the period of the discovery and conquest of America.Zamora, Margarita is the author of 'Language, Authority, and Indigenous History in the Commentarios reales de los Incas' with ISBN 9780521350877 and ISBN 0521350875.
