Author: Chance, John K.
Date Published: 1979
By far the most influential work in English that is based on this assumption is the chapter entitled "The Power Seekers" of Eric Wolf's classic Sons of the Shaking Earth.

However, this paper will attempt to show that Wolf's treatment of the mestizo now needs to be reformulated in view of recent evidence.
