Described in his lifetime as “mad,” “a dreamer,” “quixotic,” and “a lunatic,” Pedro Bohorques is one of the most fascinating personalities of Spanish colonial America. A common man from an ordinary Andalusian family, he sought his fortune in the new world as a Renaissance adventurer. Smitten with the idea of the mythical cities of gold, Bohorques led a series of expeditions into the jungles of Peru searching for the paradise of El Dorado. Having mastered the Quechua language of the countryside, he presented himself as a descendent of Inca royalty and quickly rose to power as a king among the Calchaquíes of Tucumán. He was later arrested and executed by the crown for his participation in a peasant revolt against Spanish rule. In Spanish King of the Incas, Ana María Lorandi examines Bohorques as a character whose vision, triumphs, and struggles are a reflection of his seventeenth-century colonial world. In this thoroughly engaging ethnohistory, Lorandi brings to light the many political and cultural forces of the time. The status of the Inca high nobility changed dramatically after the Spanish conquest, as native populations were subjugated by the ruling class. Utopian ideals of new cities of riches such as El Dorado prevailed in the public imagination alongside a desire to restore an idealized historic past. As the Middle Ages gave way to the new belief systems of the Renaissance, ingenuousness about mythical creatures became strong, and personal success was measured by the performance of heroic deeds and the attainment of kingdoms. Charismatic and bold, Pedro Bohorques flourished in the ambiguous margins of this society full of transition and conflict. Ann de León's artful translation preserves both the colorful details of the story and the clarity of expression in Lorandi's complex analyses.

Poder central, poder local. Funcionarios borbónicos en el Tucumán colonial. Un estudio de Antropología histórica de Ana María Lorandi estudia los debates y competencias jurisdiccionales en el seno de la burocracia colonial borbónica a través de los cuales identifica las severas dificultades que enfrenta la corona para imponer el absolutismo real en sus posiciones ultramarinas, abroqueladas en torno los cabildos. A partir de un enfoque situacional Lorandi procura describir los conflictos que se producen entre funcionarios y las elites locales en el momento de la expulsión de la Compañía de Jesús, que culmina con la prisión del gobernador Campero en 1768. Por medio de esta investigación encuadrada en el marco de la Antropología Política, Lorandi discute las evidencias que proveen los acontecimientos, los discursos y las representaciones del poder de los distintos sectores en pugna. La documentación recopilada en archivos argentinos y de Bolivia, Perú, Chile y España le ha permitido disponer de una variada y muy rica información contenida en juicios de residencia, autos sobre la rebelión local, actas de cabildos y temporalidades entre otras.
