The First New Chronicle and Good Government by Felipe Guaman Poma De Ayala
One of the most fascinating books on pre-Columbian and early colonial Peru was written by a Peruvian Indian named Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala. This book covers pre-Inca times, various aspects of Inca culture, the Spanish conquest, and colonial times up to around 1615 when the manuscript was finished.
"This version will be regarded as the classic translation of this difficult Andean thinker" Sabine Hyland, Associate Professor of Anthropology, St. Norbert College
