As we commemorate 1776, how does the bloodiest Indigenous uprising in colonial South American history fit into the global Age of Revolutions?

Historian Charles Walker (University of California, Davis) connects the Andean struggles of Túpac Amaru to the broader fight against imperial rule across the Americas.

Please join us on Friday, October 9 at 5 p.m. at the John Carter Brown Library (94 George Street, Providence) for “The Tupac Amaru Rebellion (1780-1783): An Atlantic Revolution?”

This event is free and open to the public, and a reception will follow.
