Summary:
""The Fabric of Resistance" documents the impact of Spanish colonial institutions of labor on identity and social cohesion in Peru. Through archaeological and historical lines of evidence, it examines the long-term social conditions that enabled the large-scale rebellions in the late Spanish colonial period in Peru (1780s-1820s). Hu argues that, despite the Spanish government's emphasis on divide-and-control, workers of diverse backgrounds actively resisted proscriptions against intercaste mixing. This cultural mixing underpinned the coordinated nature of late colonial rebellions. Archaeological perspectives are lacking on what were the largest and most cosmopolitan indigenous-led rebellions of the Americas, so this book fills an important gap and provides fresh perspectives and arguments on a perennially important subject"-- Provided by publisher
