143 pages with diagrams, plates, appendices and index. Royal octavo (9 3/4" x 7 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. From the library of Dr Donald E Worcester. First edition. This work is a generic study of the Peruvian educational system, going back historically to the conquest with a focus on the indigenous population of the Inca. Donald E. Worcester (1915-2003) was an American historian who specialized in Southwestern United States and Latin American history. He was president of the Western History Association from 1974-1975. Worcester graduated from Bard College in 1939. He received an M.A. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1941. He then served in the US Naval Reserve in World War II. He received a PhD. from Berkeley in 1947. From 1947 until 1963 he was a professor at the University of Florida. He then was a professor at Texas Christian University and history department chair. From 1960 until 1965 he was managing editor of the Hispanic American Historical Review. Worcester's view that history is made of complexities, not dualities, is seen as foundational for much of the understanding by later scholars of Southwest United States history.Condition: Worcesterr's stamp on front wrapper and title page, offset darkening to edges, light edge wear else a very good copy.
