Theessays show that while social control can be overt, it may also be veiled inthe form of monumental architecture, fortresses or pukara, or ritualsthat signal to friends and foes alike the power of those in control.Contributors challenge many widely accepted conceptions of violence, warfare, and domination by presenting new evidence, and they also offer novelinterpretations of power relations at the domestic, local, and regional spheres.Encompassing societies from tribal to state levelsof sociopolitical complexity, the studies in this volume present different dimensionsof conflict and power found among the prehistoric and contemporary Indigenouspeoples of Latin America.Contributors: Stephen Beckerman RichardJ.
