New World Postcolonial: The Political Thought of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega

New World Postcolonial (University of Pittsburgh Press) is the first full-length study of both parts of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega’s foundational text, Royal Commentaries of the Incas, as a seminal work of political thought in the formation of the early Americas and the early-modern period. Fuerst is one of only a few who have explored the Commentaries as a “mestizo rhetoric,” written to address both native Andean readers and Hispano-Europeans.
