El mesianismo y la semiotica indigena en el Alto Peru: La gran rebelion de 1780-1781 (review)
This new book on the famous and often studied late colonial Indian uprising in the Andes is relevant mainly because it concentrates in the southern area of Charcas, where the rebellion, led by Tomás Catari and his brothers, started half a year before the Tungasuca events, and probably without a link with Tupac Amaru, who at the time was locally unknown. Although after November 1780 the references to the Cusco leader became common, and his uprising was substantial for the spread of the movement also in southern Charcas, references to the Catari brothers remained important, especially from the Indian point of view.
