Native Insurgencies and the Genocidal Impulse in the Americas. By Nicholas A. Robins. (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2005. xii, 289 pp. $39.95, ISBN 0-253-34616-9.)

Nicholas A. Robins has written an engaging and controversial book that describes three major native rebellions in the Americas: the Pueblo Revolt of 1680–1692, the Great Rebellion in Peru, led by Túpac Amaru between 1777 and 1782, and the Caste Wars of the Yucatán, which lasted from 1847 to 1901. Robins picked those rebellions because of their considerable level of violence and because they went on for many years, rather than for just a few months. All three insurgencies resulted in much land being reclaimed, although Spanish and Mexican authorities ultimately regained their ascendancy. As well, in all three cases, large numbers of Spaniards and Indians were killed as fighting escalated. It was the nature of that fighting, the fact that it may have involved genocide, that first attracted Robins.
