""Several decades after the fall of the Inca empire, a native Andean from the area of Huamanga in the southern Peruvian Andes writes to King Phillip III. Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala's aim is to seek the reform of Spanish colonial governance in order to save the Andean peoples from the destructive forces of colonial exploitation, disease, and miscegenation." "Finding his most persuasive medium to be the visual image, he organizes his 1200-page Nueva coronica y buen gobierno around his nearly four hundred drawings, all skillfully executed by his own hand." contraportada
