One material has come to define Inca architecture —stone. The Inca used this enduring material as part of their built environment, and it played a critical role in helping to validate their rule. For example, the Inca shaped stone in ways that seemed to root the Inca in time and space, and thus convey messages of authority and belonging. Over the centuries, Inca stones have captured the modern imagination, such that...

At the turn of the twentieth century, several financial crises resulted in extreme illiquidity and retraction of bank credit. Such a situation created opportunities for the activities of counterfeiters and the formation of criminal networks that circulated across the Atlantic as part of larger circuits of migration connecting Europe with the Americas. National agencies sought to limit the action of local authorities – who were often suspected of negligence and even complicity with counterfeiters – and built collaborations with police from other countries.

This lecture describes the harrowing phenomenon of 19th-century child servitude in Peru’s capital, Lima, by upper-middle households. It builds upon a wide historical archive, mixing poems, short stories, print media articles, and, mostly, advertisements about the search for runaway child-servants. These graphic archives paint a grim picture of racialized bodies stripped of their agency and how children were trafficked: the ways they were exchanged for goods with the hope of better education or social mobility for their kids, or how these kids were simply abducted from their original...
