During the conference, news stories about the decline of demo- cratic rule, the gains of autocratic rulers, and the rise of economic crises appeared almost daily. It could be said that the theme of our conference, "Andean Studies: New Trends and Library Resources," could not have come at a better time. Our theme gave us the opportunity to study and to better understand this troubled region, and it made possible the preparation of many excellent papers by SALALM members and invited guests. As they face the new millennium, the countries of the Andean region, as well as much of Latin America, have made significant achievements including a partial goal of democracy and economic stability. Even a centuries-old bor- der dispute has been settled between Ecuador and Peru. This border conflict was the last major border dispute in Latin America, and its resolution marks a new era of peace and stability for the area. Nevertheless, there are still many obstacles that face these countries. Democratic ideas are in their infant stage in some countries, and political violence as well as censorship is clearly evi- dent. The social problems caused by poverty, corruption, crime, judicial inse- curity, inadequate education and health coverage, and lack of accountability of policy makers are only a few of the issues that Andean nations will have to overcome in the new millennium in order to improve the everyday life of its citizens. The papers presented in this volume examine many of these issues by exploring topics relating to the political, social, economic, literary, and artistic history of the Andean nations. During the conference, librarians, scholars, book dealers, and publishers from Latin America, the United States, and Europe presented a series of work- shops, panels, and roundtables. Many sessions were scholarly in nature cover- ing topics mentioned above, but others dealt with critical issues surrounding bibliographic control, collection development, and the preservation of materi- als focusing on Andean countries. A number of excellent bibliographies are also included in this volume relating to various Andean themes. In the age of new technologies, some sessions also explored the impact of these advances, IX x Preface and the issues of access to research collections specializing on the Andean region. To open the conference, we had the great pleasure of welcoming Dr. Maria Rostworowski as our keynote speaker. For many years now, Dr. Rostworowski has been one of Peru's most brilliant contemporary historians and is undoubtedly one of the great names in Andean ethnohistory. She is a tireless researcher and a prolific author that has published approximately twenty-one books and has contributed some eighty articles published in jour- nals and books on Andean ethnohistory. These works reveal her preoccupation with themes such as the Inca state, the social and economic structure of Peru's coastal region, the ecological wisdom of Andean agricultural practices, the importance of women in pre-Hispanic Peru, the fallacies about the Inca rulers, and the trade routes that linked Peru and Central America. Her book about the true history of Tahuantinsuyu is one of her greatest milestones and reflects her thorough knowledge of the pre-Hispanic Andean world. Dr. Rostworowski set the stage for this conference by providing a general overview of Inca society from its earliest beginnings to the fall of the Inca Empire. At the end of SALALM XLV, I received many congratulatory remarks about the success of the conference. But it is my sincere belief that the success of any conference is due to the people that participate, not only the organizers and presenters, but also the moderators, rapporteurs, book dealers, and devoted SALALM members. It is also the activities that take place during the annual meeting—the committee meetings, receptions, no-host lunches, library tours, and the friendly exchange of ideas between SALALM members—that enriches the conference, thereby making it a great success. Nevertheless, there are some individuals that deserve special mention. At this time I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to a very hardworking Local Arrangements Committee led by co-chairs Eudora Loh and Barbara Valk. It has been my good fortune to have the opportunity to work with such an exemplary group. The co-chairs deserve a very special thanks because without their leadership and hard work, this conference would not have been possible. I am truly indebted to them for their organizing skills and their patience. My special thanks are also extended to David Block for his good counsel and guidance. I also thank the University of California, Los Angeles; UCLA Libraries; UCLA Department of Spanish and Portuguese; Getty Research Institute; PROMPERU, Comisión para la Promoción del Perú; and the Latin American Center at UCLA for being the gracious hosts of SALALM XLV. This was an auspicious year because the Latin American Center also celebrated its fortieth anniversary, and the SALALM membership was extremely pleased to be part of this celebration. Preface xi At this time, I would also like to express my deep appreciation to all pre- senters for the many fascinating papers and the informative workshops pre- pared, and to our keynote speaker, Dr. Maria Rostworowski, who made the long trip from Peru to delight us with her presentation and her presence. Finally, a special thanks to Mark L. Grover and Shannon Thurlow for their invaluable assistance and patience in editing these papers. César Rodríguez Andean History Revisited 1 . Vision general sobre el Incario Maria Rostworowski Antes de hablar sobre los incas no podemos dejar de lado mencionar el paisaje y el mediocambiante del Perú, por tratarse de un país de difícil y de variada ecología. El mundo andino no se limita, para nosotros, con la zona de la sierra, sino que comprende también la costa y la selva, con una noción de geografía global. Las tres regiones no se mantuvieron aisladas a través de los siglos y existió un intercambio, una complementariedad, y a la vez un rechazo entre sus habitantes. La costa, está compuesta por amplios desiertos cortados por ríos que bajan de las serranías. Ellos no tienen un curso regular, y su cauce aumenta durante la temporada de lluvias en las tierras altas. Los valles son fértiles, pero necesitan de sofisticados sistemas hidráulicos para su agricultura. La costa depende del aforo del agua de sus ríos para subsistir y, tiene una subordinación con relación a la sierra. Por ese motivo los serranos pretendían dominar las tierras bajas debido a que el recurso acuífero procedía de las alturas.
