EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut from "The First New Chronicle and Good Government" by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala transports us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the history of South America's conquest. The intricate engraving depicts a powerful scene that speaks volumes about the artist's intentions. In this image, we see a man standing tall with his arms outstretched, holding a large crucifix. His solemn expression and commanding presence suggest that he is an important figure in this narrative. Behind him, there are other men gathered around, seemingly engaged in deep discussion or prayer. The woodcut serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a poignant commentary on human rights during this tumultuous period. Poma de Ayala was known for denouncing the mistreatment of indigenous people by Spanish conquerors, making him a pioneer in advocating for justice and equality. As we examine this print closely, it becomes evident that religion plays a significant role in conveying the message of resistance against oppression. The cross symbolizes hope and salvation while also serving as a reminder of the suffering endured by native peoples under Spanish rule. This remarkable artwork not only captures our attention visually but also invites us to reflect on historical events through its thought-provoking imagery. It stands as an enduring testament to Poma de Ayala's courage and determination to shed light on injustices committed against indigenous communities during one of history's most transformative periods.
