"Revolution in the Andes is the best single account that I have read of the great uprisings led by TÚpac Amaru and the other neo-Incan rebels. It is likely to become a much-read book among scholars of Latin America history, culture, and politics, especially Andeanists."-Orin Starn, author of Nightwatch: The Politics of Protest in the Andes "In this outstanding book, Sergio Serulnikov, one of the foremost scholars of the late-colonial Andes, digests a large, multilingual historiography into a single cohesive narrative, framing the largest indigenous revolution of the New World after the Conquest for a wide audience. At the same time, he offers specialists provocative insights and attention to nuance, complexity, and local heterogeneity."-Jeremy Adelman, author of Republic of Capital: Buenos Aires and the Legal Transformation of the Atlantic World "In this outstanding book, Sergio Serulnikov, one of the foremost scholars of the late colonial Andes, digests a large, multilingual historiography into a single cohesive narrative, framing the largest indigenous revolution of the New World after the Conquest for a wide audience.

E. O'Connor (Choice) “Revolution in the Andesoffers us a fluid political narrative of events that is framed in wider structural context, sensitive to local dynamics, and penetrating in its analysis. It is written accessibly to engage a nonscholarly audience and is rendered into English with uncommon skill and elegance by translator David Frye. Ultimately, Serulnikov offers a new vision of how the political thinking and mobilization of Andean insurgents.” - Sinclair Thomson (Hispanic American Historical Review) “In this thin volume, Serulnikov manages to present an excellent overview of the insurrection as well as a nuanced discussion of regional and local variations. He references a large historiography dating from the 1950s to the present, and an array of archival material, including quotations from TÚpac Amaru II and imperial officials.”- Michael J. Gonzalez (Journal of Interdisciplinary History) "Geared to undergraduate and popular audiences, Revolution in the Andes features meticulous accounts of complex events in plain, lucid language." - Jason B. McClure (Michigan War Studies Review) “Serulnikov succeeds admirably in encapsulating a chronologically and geographically coherent narrative of revolution from 1780 to 1782, which is easily accessible to readers with no prior knowledge.” - Marc Eagle (History: Reviews of New Books) “An exceptional synthesis of the Age of Andean Insurrection. Apt for specialists and nonspecialists alike.” - José Carlos De la Puente Luna (Latin American Research Review)
