Witness to the Age of Revolution

This work in the Graphic History series is based on the memoir written by Juan Bautista about his odyssey as a prisoner of Spain. He endured forty years in jails, dungeons, and presidios on both sides of the Atlantic. Juan Bautista spent two years in jail in Cusco, was freed, rearrested, and then marched 700 miles in chains over the Andes to Lima. He spent two years aboard a ship travelling around Cape Horn to Spain. Subsequently, he endured over thirty years imprisoned in Ceuta, Spain's much-feared garrison city on the northern tip of Africa. In 1822, priest Marcos Durán Martel and Maltese-Argentine naval hero Juan Bautista Azopardo arranged to have him freed and sent to the newly independent Argentina, where he became a symbol of Argentina's short-lived romance with the Incan Empire. There he penned his memoirs, but died without fulfilling his dream of returning to Peru.
This stunning graphic history relates the life and legacy of Juan Bautista Tupac Amaru, enhanced by a selection of primary sources, and chronicles the harrowing and extraordinary life of a firsthand witness to the Age of Revolution.

"With colorful illustrations and a creative edition, the Oxford University Press Graphic History Series includes for the first time a welcomed addition from Indigenous Latin America, accessible to a variety of specialists and nonspecialist audiences alike...Using the expressive narrative of an Andean memoir, full-color pictorial illustrations, and critical contextualization, this publication contributes to restoring life to a multiplicity of
muffled voices in the history of Indigenous rebel activities and their aftermath at the outset of modern times in the Andes....Its flexible and visual format makes the book suitable for undergraduate
students of Latin American history and should enjoy wide use in the classroom." -- Alcira Dueñas, American Historical Review
