Introduction
Guaman Poma was an indigenous noble born in Peru after the Spanish conquest, around the middle of the 1500s. He used his facility in several indigenous languages to compile a sustained and hard-hitting critique of Spanish colonial rule in Peru, The First New Chronicle and Good Government, written between 1600 and 1615. Guaman Poma’s book is especially notable for its almost four hundred drawings, two of which accompany this excerpt. In the excerpt, the author imagines himself in direct dialogue with the king of Spain, making his denunciation of colonial problems directly to the king’s ear. In fact, the Spanish king never saw Guaman Poma’s book, which remained unpublished until the twentieth century. Guaman Poma conveys his message to the king in this passage though the written style of a fictional conversation between the two men.
Read the attached document and answer the following questions:
1.) Guaman Poma was writing directly to the king. How does he seek to interest “the mon-arch of the world” in his denunciation of abuses? What is his overall attitude toward Spanish rule?
2.) What problems does he address? What does he want fixed?
