Spanish wars of conquest – An interview with Alan Covey about his new book Inca Apocalypse published by Oxford University Press. The book discusses the Spanish conquest of the Incas. Check out the book here http://amzn.to/2EAvVFj
ⅴpn排行 2022
The Spanish conquest of the Incas has always been an important aspect of the work that I do in the Andes. It lies between the two lines of evidence that I work with: prehistoric archaeology and colonial archival documents. The conquest story stands apart from those two records, and the Spanish chronicles that provide the most vivid detail aren’t always easy to line up with the other evidence, so I was always a little intimidated about trying to work them all together.
ⅴpn排行 2022
The book features the religious worldview of the Incas and Spaniards, presenting the conquest of the Andes as a drawn-out transformation that could be interpreted as the end of the world, or the start of a new era. I focus on the ways that the Inca and Spanish empires were both engaged in building civilizations, and how the Spanish conquest was only possible with indigenous support. Even though most of the Incas became Christians and supported the Spanish crown, it took decades for the Spaniards to establish dominance over much of what remained of the Inca world.

The Spaniards were probably less surprised to encounter the Incas than the other way around. When Columbus sailed, he thought he would reach the Mongol Empire and seek an alliance against Spain’s Muslim enemies, and in the 40 years that followed, Spaniards recognized that many native societies had hereditary leaders who could be quite powerful. Pizarro sailed south from Panama to follow the rumor of a wealthy lord living just beyond where other Spaniards had explored. The Incas probably expected that their world would end in natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes) rather than a foreign invasion.

Although there were a lot of ways that the two empires were alike, there were also important ways that they differed, which created misunderstandings about each other. For example, the Spaniards thought that the Pope had granted them dominion over half of the world, so they felt comfortable taking food and clothing and native porters from the communities they passed through. The Incas saw them as a lawless men who didn’t know the land or even how to eat properly, and when the Spaniards ate Inca food and drank Inca beer, it signaled that they were Inca subjects, rather than the other way around. As Spaniards and Andean lords worked to forge alliances and gain the greatest advantage as the world changed, their interactions could be ambiguous, interpreted in different ways by European and Andean people. When it came to fighting, the Incas had shown that they were capable of brutal campaigns that relied on shock troops and violent retribution to bring frontier peoples in line. The Spaniards didn’t fight by the same rules–they attacked without warning, tortured and burned their allies, and brought new weapons to the battlefield (like horses and firearms). Over time, native people acquired those weapons and learned to fight against them successfully, and they learned guerilla tactics that worked when Spaniards were few in number and in remote places.

The Inca civil war that was wrapping up when Pizarro went into the Andean highlands had forced local lords to choose sides, and Atahuallpa (the victorious Inca prince) had passed through the north Pacific coast where Pizarro arrived just months earlier, killing local people and taking their women. Atahuallpa’s captains had occupied Cuzco, the Inca capital, where they wiped out some royal families and declared an intent to force the nobility to migrate to Quito. And there were provinces that had ceased to pay Inca tribute during the war, which Atahuallpa planned to visit and punish. So the Spaniards turned up on a landscape where lots of Andean people were either looking for revenge, trying to survive, or hoping to maintain newfound independence. The Spaniards didn’t seem like an especially formidable force when it came to fighting across the entire Andean region, but they were dangerous and violent, and when they offered to fight for native lords, or to protect them, it was an appealing offer.
Was there a particularly difficult issue to research because of lack of information or access to information?
Probably the biggest challenge to assembling this book was the sheer scale of documents and other evidence that could be used for a big-picture story like the one I wanted to tell. As a social scientist, I went into the project trying to bring in as much evidence as possible, but I realized that I could fill a book (and more) just with a bibliography of publications and archival manuscripts.
Did you have any difficulties in finishing or publishing and how did you overcome those?
I was fortunate to have support from the University of Texas to devote a semester to writing, which allowed me to build a momentum that I was able to keep for the rest of the project. My wife, who is also a professor, was really supportive and patient at times when the project required more time and focus. The folks at Oxford University Press were really accommodating, and I felt like I had room to write the book that needed to be written.
What is your current or next writing project?
Right now, I am in the early stages of a project that builds on some of the things I learned writing Inca Apocalypse. The Incas became an important point of debate among early modern Europeans, and I am working on a book that explores how representations of the Incas evolved as Europeans moved out of medieval modes of thought, through the Enlightenment, and into the theories that drive the social sciences today.
Where can people find you online?
I don’t do social media, so my page at the University of Texas is the best place to keep up with my work.

American Civil War – An interview with William Barney about his new book Rebels in the Making, published by Oxford University Press, on Southern secession in 1860 to 1861. Check out the book here http://amzn.to/30aBXVl
How did you become interested in studying and writing on the subject of your book?
I first became interested in the American Civil War after reading Bruce Catton during high school. I latched on to secession as a research topic in my years of professional training at Columbia University in the 1960s and always wanted to write a major work on the topic.
What is the book about and what major themes do you focus on?
Rebels in the Making focuses on the years of 1860-1861 when the secession movement climaxed and triggered the Civil War. I found that any persuasive explanation of the politics of secession necessitated placing the drive for secession in the social, economic, and cultural context of the slave South as it matured in the 1850s and constricted opportunities for common whites in acquiring slaves and good land. The need to protect slavery where it existed and leave open the possibility of its future expansion was the main motivating force behind secession. This was the core argument used to attract the support of younger slaveholders aspiring to attain planter status. In presenting my findings, I examined secession, and its success or failure, in all of the fifteen slave states and traced how the vision of the secessionists for the South was embodied in the crafting the constitution and government for the Confederate States of America.
What resource materials or archives did you primarily use for your research?
I cast as wide a net as possible in locating resource material – letters, diaries and journals; slave narratives; court records; contemporary periodicals and newspapers; and legislative proceedings and debates.
What did you discover in your research that most surprised you?
What most surprised me was the extent and depth of the economic depression that gripped the South once credit lines from the North were largely shut down in the financial freeze that accompanied Lincoln’s election. Most economic activity ground to a halt and the ensuing sense of desperation added fuel to the argument of the secessionists that the South had to liberate itself from the financial shackles of the North.
Why did the North shut down the credit lines for the South and what about Lincoln’s election prompted this action? Were there Southern states that were hit particularly harder by this credit crunch than others?
Capital abhors uncertainty and everyone foresaw a major political crisis in the event of Lincoln’s election. Consequently, Northern banks and mercantile houses sought to preserve capital and prevent bankruptcies by tightening or refusing to extend the credit (technically discounting the notes of indebtedness) to Southern factors and planters that was necessary to move cotton to market. The economic crisis was a national one because of uncertainty over whether Southern markets would remain open to Northern merchants and farmers. All states were affected, though the shutdown was probably the deepest in the cash-starved Cotton South.

The hardest part of the story to tell was the role played by the slaves, over forty percent of the population in the seven original states that seceded. Slaves, unsurprisingly, left very few first-hand accounts of their feelings or actions and their reaction to the crisis in large measure had to be inferred by what whites wrote of what they thought the slaves were up to. I argue that the slaves were well aware that their day of deliverance was about to come and that they exploited the unrest and excitement in the South in 1860 by setting a rash of fires that further unnerved whites into believing that only a clean break from the North could save them from what they convinced themselves were hordes of abolitionist incendiaries descending on the South and stirring up the slaves.

Southern newspapers reported an outbreak of fires that began in the spring of 1860 and peaked in the late summer and fall. The fires were attributed to abolitionist emissaries and slaves. The fires destroyed many businesses and some private homes. Most of them, and those almost certainly set by plantation slaves, torched highly combustible cotton gins and the cotton stored therein. The fires were set at night in isolated areas where it was extremely difficult to identify the perpetrators.
Did you have any difficulties in finishing or publishing and how did you overcome those?
Fortunately, the only hurdle in the writing of Rebels was carving out the time for framing and detailing the argument. As in the past, Oxford University Press was an understanding and helpful publisher. The comments and advice of Editor Susan Ferber were all I could have hoped for.

Vietnam War and Indochina War military history book – “Saigon Sisters” (Cornell University Press, 2020) – Patricia Norland interview
Editor’s note: Patricia Norland sent an email clarifying a statement she made during the Interview: “Separately, I should clarify my statement about “managing” the Fulbright program while serving in HCMC; my job was to manage exchange programs, but Fulbright, wisely, establishes a Commission in each country (with ED) that — while coordinating with others– runs the program.”
0:42 – Patricia talks about why she wrote this book and how she met the women she wrote about.
5:09 – We talk about how these nine women gave up privileged lives to fight the French and Americans in the Indochina Wars.
7:04 – Patricia talks about how she breaks the book into two parts- the lives they had before war to 1950 and then 1954, the war years to post 1975.
