Native Insurgencies And The Genocidal Impulse In The Americas

Nicholas Robins investigates three Indian revolts in the Americas: the 1680 Pueblo Indians against the Spanish, the Great Rebellion in Bolivia 1780-82 and the Caste War of Yucatan 1849-1903. He examines their causes, course, nature, leadership and goals and finds common features.

First sentence: In the predawn hours of August 10, 1680, the Pueblo Indians of present-day New Mexico rose up in a well-planned and highly coordinated effort to eliminate the Spanish presence in the Rio Grande basin.
