4. Other regions in Peru have attracted much less attention, and the themes analyzed in other regions diverge greatly from the concerns focusing on Cusco. One such region is Arequipa, where caudillo politics have dominated the regional scene with its anti-centralist strands. Another region is Puno, important as a region linking the mining center of Potosí in colonial times and in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as the region where gamonalismo flourished. Cajamarca and Trujillo stand out for different reasons. It is to be hoped that someday, scholars will be able to assemble our knowledge of Andean regions in a comparative framework. For a recent analysis on Arequipa between 1780 and 1854, see Sarah C. Chambers, From Subjects to Citizens: Honor, Gender, and Politics in Arequipa, Peru, 1780–1854 (University Park: Penn State University Press), 1999.

7. Perhaps a more realistic way to deal with opposing visions, realities, and meanings of the past is to look into what others have called syncretism or hybrid colonial order or protonationalism. See Kenneth J. Andrien, Andean Worlds: Indigenous History, Culture, and Consciousness under Spanish Rule, 1532–1825 (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2001); and Terence N.
