The Incas’ Tahuantinsuyu: The History and Institutions of the Last pre-Hispanic Andean State offers a detailed and multidisciplinary exploration of the Inca Empire—an enduring symbol of Peruvian identity and cultural pride. Written by renowned anthropologist and professor Juan Ossio Acuña, this bilingual volume is the result of decades of research and teaching. Drawing from ethnohistory, archaeology, linguistics, folklore, and colonial administrative records, the author provides a nuanced understanding of Inca society beyond traditional colonial chronicles. The book challenges readers to view the Tahuantinsuyu not only as a historical state, but as a living legacy that continues to shape Peru today. It is both an academic reference and a tribute to the rich cultural fabric of the Andean world.
