    Formas de resistencia indígena en el mundo andino: el mito del "inkarri", el mesianismo andino en las rebeliones del siglo XVIII y su proyección al siglo XX.
    (2016-03-30) Fernández Pozo, Guillermo José
    The Andean people have developed their own forms of resistance and rejection against efforts to dominate, oppress and suppress their customs and liberties.  This essay will trace a pattern in their forms of resistance from the sixteenth century with the disappearance of the last independent Inca stronghold in Vilcabamba in 1572. The final resistance of Túpac Amaru in the said mountain range drove the expansion of the "inkarri" myth.  The said myth served as the indigenous community´s symbol for their desire for freedom and for the return of their native customs and traditions in the eighteenth century, led by Juan Santos Atahualpa and Túpac Amaru II.  Finally, this essay will reflect on the said movements and their relationship with messianism in the twentieth century.
