Video Title:
Inka Road Symposium 07 - The Inka Empire: Political Power and Economic Structure
Description:
This special symposium celebrates the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian’s landmark exhibition, The Great Inka Road: Engineering an Empire, with a fascinating look at the material, political, economic, and religious structures that integrated more than one hundred Native nations and millions of people in the powerful Andean Empire known as the Tawantinsuyu. In this segment, Terence D’Altroy, Columbia University, speaks on "The Inka Empire: Political Power and Economic Structure." Terence D’Altroy is the Loubat Professor of American Archaeology in the Department of Anthropology and Director of the Center for Archaeology at Columbia University in the City of New York. His research interests lie in the study of empires, especially the Inkas of Andean South America, with a topical focus on both the organizational and the intellectual foundations of imperial rule. Since 1969, he has conducted fieldwork in Perú, Argentina, the United States, and Mexico. Among his (co-)authored and (co-)edited books are The Incas (2d ed., 2014), The Incas: Inside an American Empire (2004), Empire and Domestic Economy (2002), Empires (2002), and Provincial Power in the Inka Empire (1992). The symposium was recorded at the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian on June 25-26, 2015.
