Abstract

In chronicles written during the XVI and XVII centuries the Antis (a general name used as a collective term to describe a great variety of ethnic groups living in the eastern and Amazonian corner of the empire), were portrayed as rebels, uncivilised, sometimes as barbarians and cannibals. Guaman Poma de Ayala reinforces this discourse both in his text and drawings where we can see images of the Antis as Indians living in caves and read about their practicing of anthropophagy. In this short paper I shall focus on the work of Guaman Poma de Ayala and his perception of the Antis.
