"Gamarra created a strong base in Cuzco. Throughout his career, he promoted this relationship, favoring Cuzco whenever possible...His nationalist rhetoric and promises to recapture Cuzco’s glory resonated well...He expertly integrated the maximum symbol of Cuzco grandeur, the Incas, into his platform, thereby gaining the support of groups ranging from urban elites to the Indian masses."

"The Tupac Amaru rebellion must be understood in light of eighteenth-century political culture: greater tensions evident in the increasing number of revolts, diverse invocations of the Incas, and the emergence of new ideological and political currents. It was a protonational movement that confronted and was undermined by the contradictions of colonialism in the Andes." '(Loc 1024)
