In this essay published posthumously, Degregori reflects on his thoughts and conclusions when serving as a member of Peru’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. 3 . As Rasnake (1988: 201) notes in relation to Bolivia, the central square of Andean towns presented in miniature a kind of conceptual map of the organization of the central district. 4. Raimondi (1895) provides an estimate of the barrio population of the time. Some 12,000 people lived in the Tarma barrios: Collana was the largest with 2,400 people, followed by Urahuchoc with 2,200; Chancha with nearly 2,000; Huancoy with 1,500; Andamarca with 1,300; Cayao with 1,700; and Congas with 1,000. 5 .

In a mani- festo written in 1867, Bustamante (1981 : 22) wrote of how “the indios of Peru have not been and are still not free men or citizens of their pueblos”; they remained “los parias del Per ú” (the pariahs of Peru).
