Cuzco: References & Edit History

Additional Reading

Numerous tourist guides are available for the Cuzco area; perhaps the best are Peter Frost, Exploring Cusco, 5th ed. (1999); and Peter Frost and Ben Box, Cusco & the Sacred Valley Handbook (2001). Pre-Hispanic Cuzco is discussed in Gordon F. McEwan, Pikillacta: The Wari Empire in Cuzco (2005); Brian S. Bauer, Ancient Cuzco: Heartland of the Inca (2004), and The Sacred Landscape of the Inca: The Cusco Ceque System (1998); and R. Tom Zuidema, Inca Civilization in Cuzco (1990; originally published in French, 1985). Religion in colonial Cuzco is examined in Kathryn Burns, Colonial Habits: Convents and the Spiritual Economy of Cuzco, Peru (1999); Carolyn Dean, Inka Bodies and the Body of Christ: Corpus Christi in Colonial Cuzco, Peru (1999); and Carol Damian, The Virgin of the Andes: Art and Ritual in Colonial Cuzco (1995). More recent history of the Cuzco region is found in Charles F. Walker, Smoldering Ashes: Cuzco and the Creation of Republican Peru, 1780–1840 (1999); and Marisol de la Cadena, Indigenous Mestizos: The Politics of Race and Culture in Cuzco, Peru, 1919–1991 (2000).
