  Garcilaso Inca de la Vega - Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Garcilaso de la Vega, the "Inca," was born Gomez Suarez de Figueroa in Cuzco on April 12th, 1539.
Garcilaso repeatedly travelled to Madrid seeking royal patronage and the rehabilitation of his father's reputation, but was thwarted by hostile judges and damning accounts of his father's activities recorded in early chronicles of the Indies.
Garcilaso suggested that the main problem was a series of cultural misunderstandings: the Spaniards were gallant warriors and pious Christians but their failure to learn Quechua and their underevaluation of Inca culture had tragic consequences.

 Repertorio hispánico - Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, el despertar de un pensamiento
Las culturas precolombinas en el proceso de la conquista fueron prácticamente destruidas: sus templos, sus ciudades, su gente, sus documentos, y con esto, los mismos indios asistieron a la muerte tanto de los suyos como de todo su acervo cultural.
En su afán, Inca Garcilaso de La Vega construye una "moderna historia oral" (1) que legitima todo un universo, convirtiéndose en un narrador testigo que establece un hilo conductor entre recuerdos y comentarlos hechos por personajes que, de alguna forma, incidían en su formación cultural.

 DISCURSIVE STRATEGIES IN THE WORKS OF EL INCA, GARCILASO DE LA VEGA
Garcilaso was able to take the Spanish language beyond the limitations of European experience to rescue Inca culture from the misconceptions of Spanish official histories and to represent the psyche and the cultural, social, and political organization of a people whose oral tradition proved inadequate in a world of letters.
Garcilaso’s insistence on recovering the original Quechua from its misinterpretation by the Spanish historians was typical of Renaissance humanists who labored to read the Holy Scriptures in the orginal Hebrew and Greek and to purge from them the contamination of the ensuing years of intentional or unintentional misinterpretation.
Garcilaso understood the inadequacy of a discourse that comprises only one of many possible voices, realizing that all the voices in a narrative are dialogically interrelated, although he probably would not have expressed it in quite such sophisticated twentieth-century terms.

 shipler
The surface of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega's story of the melons is characterized by a discourse of colonialist racism.
The discourse used by de la Vega is indeed the racist language used by the colonists and the conquistadors of the time.
The Incas society was obviously one where things were not recorded using writing and words and the notion that the inanimate object would simply carry the message would be totally foreign to them.

 Iconos hispánicos - Inca Garcilaso de la Vega
A la muerte de su padre en 1559, con su parte de herencia, Garcilaso de la Vega se dirigió a España, donde fue recibido por su tío Alonso de Vargas en Montilla, quien también terminó por hacerlo su heredero.

 Biografia de Garcilaso El Inca
Gracias a la privilegiada posición de su padre, que perteneció a la facción de Francisco Pizarro hasta que se pasó al bando del virrey La Gasca, el Inca Garcilaso de la Vega recibió en Cuzco una esmerada educación al lado de los hijos de Francisco y Gonzalo Pizarro, mestizos e ilegítimos como él.
Frecuentó los círculos humanísticos de Sevilla, Montilla y Córdoba y se volcó en el estudio de la historia y en la lectura de los poetas clásicos y renacentistas.
La obra contiene la crónica de la expedición de aquel conquistador, de acuerdo con los relatos que recogió él mismo durante años, y defiende la legitimidad de imponer en aquellos territorios la soberanía española para someterlos a la jurisdicción cristiana.
