Ses travaux et ses rapports ont principalement pour objet d’aboutir à une organisation efficace, notamment en ce qui concerne l’encadrement des populations autochtones. Aussi, au fil de ses enquêtes, en en devient‑il un fin connaisseur, laissant à la postérité des écrits d’une inestimable valeur historique et anthropologique.Juan Polo de Ondegardo, a native of Spain and a trained lawyer, was an influential official of the vice-kingdom of Peru at a time when the royal government was being established during the second half of the sixteenth century. The main purpose of his work and reports was to achieve an effective organisation, particularly in relation to the supervision of indigenous peoples. Thus, in the course of his investigations, he became a fine scholar of the Andes, leaving writings of inestimable historical and anthropological value for posterity

Il termine en 1615 une lettre‑fleuve adressée au roi d’Espagne dans laquelle il écrit une histoire du Pérou tout à fait personnelle et dresse un réquisitoire contre les abus des autorités coloniales. L’opus de sa vie, sa Nueva Corónica y buen gobierno, est à son image, unique, foisonnante, plurielle. Elle convoque l’histoire, la religion, la géographie, la politique, l’économie pour tracer un tableau complet et tout à fait subjectif des Andes selon un indigène à la culture métisse. Son œuvre, redécouverte seulement au début du xxe siècle, est un témoignage majeur de l’histoire des Andes, mais également un document‑clé pour comprendre le Pérou et les mentalités d’une certaine élite indigène au tournant des xvie et xviie siècles, au moment où s’évanouit le monde autochtone tandis que s’échafaude, douloureusement, un nouveau monde.Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala is one of the few indigenous voices of Andean historiography. In 1615, he sent a letter to the King of Spain, in which he wrote a very personal history of Peru and drew up an indictment against the abuses of the colonial authorities. His life’s work, the Nueva Corónica y buen gobierno, resembles him: unique, prolific, pluralist. He uses history, religion, geography, politics, and economics in order to draw a complete and absolutely subjective picture of the Andes from the point of view of a native from a mixed-race culture. His work, which was only rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century, is not only a major testimony to the history of the Andes, but also a key document in understanding Peru and the mentalities of a certain native elite at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, as the indigenous world vanished and a new world painfully arose

These texts in English, Finnish, and Spanish highlight the pronouncedly multidisciplinary nature and broad scope of the Latin American Studies program at the University of Helsinki, headed by Professor Pärssinen since 1999.

The only event that would catch the attention of an historian in search of something spectacular might be the revolt of the idolatrous Indians of Andagua between 1745 and 1752. The legal action taken by the provincial authorities to repress this uprising shows a picture of the villager society of the Coropuna lands in the 18th century in which we can notice – and this is the central topic of this study – the Indian world articulating itself to the colonial society. These villages, in the light of their cultural heritage and long-term history, are considered through demographic and economic realities, relations between the Indian and the authorities as well as religious phenomena. Beyond being a simple monograph, this work depicts the actors of this society on a daily basis and analyses the various paths of life and social relationships. In the heart of this microcosm, the way the Indian will fit (but also will be fitted) onto this world is noticeable throughout colonial history.
