My little Latin Americanist heart is just mad that Cusco isn't alive, and nor are any of the other cities which remained bases of indigenous power and relative safety through the colonial and national periods of Latin America. Indigenous metropolitanism didn't just vanish! Cultural continuity didn't just end! Presently-Hispanophone America had a different relationship to its colonizers than Anglo- and Lusophone America! Indigenous people have agency, actually, and some darn cool cities that persisted through colonization as centers of culture! Which, honestly, a minimum of research would show. So my mileage is pretty low on this one, alas.
