This book reexamines the structure of Inca society on the eve of the Spanish Conquest. The author argues that native Andean cosmology organized the indigenous political economy as well as spatial and socio-kinship systems.

Taking the perspective of native Americans, this work aims to explain some of the general principles on which pre-Hispanic Andeans lives were based. It also describes how the imposed Spanish colonial system altered the organization and belief systems of the native inhabitants of northern Peru.
