Description
Summary:"In this work, Peter Gose demonstrates the ways in which Andeans converted conquests into relations of kinship and obligation. They worshipped Christianized and racially 'white' spirits after the Spaniards invaded, though the conquering Spaniards prevented actual kinship bonds with the Andeans by adhering to strict rules of racial separation. Gose goes beyond the usual colonial resistance narratives, describing instead a creative form of transculturation under the agency of the Andeans. Invaders as Ancestors is a fascinating account of one of the most unusual transcultural encounters in the history of colonialism."--Jacket.
