R. Tom Zuidema
Reiner Tom Zuidema (born 1927) is professor emeritus of Anthropology and Latin American and Caribbean Studies at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[1] He is well known for his seminal contributions on Inca social and political organization. His early work consisted of a structural analysis of the ceque system. He later extended this approach, based on French and Dutch structuralism, to other aspects of Andean civilization, notably kinship, the Inca calendar and Incaic understanding of astronomy.[2]
In 1977 Zuidema became a correspondent of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[3]
