Guaman Poma uses his book "New Chronicle" to combine cultures and form a contact zone to explain the clash between the Spanish and Incan cultures. In the passage, " Arts of the Contact Zone" by Mary Louise Pratt, states, "Guaman Poma's new chronicle ends with a revisionist account of the Spanish conquest, which, he argues, should have been a peaceful encounter of equals with the potential od benefiting both, but for the mindless greed of the Spanish...
