FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Spaniards typically portrayed the conquest and fall of Mexico Tenochtitlan as Armageddon, while native peoples in colonial Mesoamerica continued to write and paint their histories and lives often without any mention of the foreigners in their midst. Their accounts took the form of annals, chronicles, religious treatises, tribute accounts, theatre pieces, and wills. Thousand of documents were produced, almost all of which served to preserve indigenous ways of doing things. But what provoked record keeping on such a grand scale? At what point did pre-contact sacred writing become utilitarian and quotidian? Were their texts documentaries, a form of boosterism, even ingenious intellectualism, or were they ultimately a literature of ruin? This volume seeks to address key aspects of indigenous perspectives of the conquest and Spanish colonialism by examining what they themselves recorded and why they did so. Author Biography Susan Schroeder is France Vinton Scholes Professor of Colonial Latin American History at Tulane University. She is the author of numerous books, book chapters, and articles about intellectualism, religion, resistance, society, politics, and women in colonial Nahua Mesoamerica.

Review "Susan Schroeders edited work balances the history of the Spanish conquest of Mexico by presenting an indigenous voice from the past and, at the same time, reawakens a historiographical debate about the extremes of the Spanish Black Legend stereotypes that reached its high point in academia in the 1960s. ...The authors of the essays in this volume have effectively used such sources in presenting the views of the conquered through the works of Nahua and Zapotec record keepers. This book is highly recommended to those who wish to gain a much needed perspective of the European conquest of the Americas." --Colonial Latin American Historical Review Review Quote "Susan Schroeders edited work balances the history of the Spanish conquest of Mexico by presenting an indigenous voice from the past and, at the same time, reawakens a historiographical debate about the extremes of the Spanish Black Legend stereotypes that reached its high point in academia in the 1960s. ...The authors of the essays in this volume have effectively used such sources in presenting the views of the conquered through the works of Nahua and Zapotec record keepers.
