Arkush, author of \u003ci\u003eHillforts of the Ancient Andes: Colla Warfare, Society, and Landscape\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Imperial frontiers are a fascinating stage for studying the interactions of people, institutions, and their environments. In one of the first books to explore the Inka frontier through archaeology, Sonia Alconini examines part of present-day Bolivia that was once a territory at the edge of the Inka empire. Along this frontier, one of the New World's most powerful polities came into repeated conflict with tropical lowland groups that it could never subject to its rule. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using extensive field research, Alconini explores the multifaceted socioeconomic processes that transpired in the frontier region. Her unprecedented study shows how the Inka empire exercised control over vast expanses of land and peoples in a territory located hundreds of miles away from the capital city of Cusco, and how people on the frontier navigated the cultural and environmental divide that separated the Andes and the Amazon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sonia Alconini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813062918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813062914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Sonia Alconini","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47757846249727,"sku":"9780813062914","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bef99110-1abf-4b18-afd9-1097a52a70ec.jpg?v=1765510727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/southeast-inka-frontiers-sonia-alconini-9780813062914","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
