Förlagets beskrivning
The Nahua Indians of central Mexico (often misleadingly called Aztecs after
the quite ephemeral confederation that existed among them in late pre-Hispanic
times) were the most populus of Mesoamerica's cultural-linguistic groups at the
time of the Spanish conquest. They remained at the center of developments for
centuries thereafter, since the bulk of the Hispanic population settled among
them and they bore the brunt of cultural contact. This collection of thirteen
essays (five of them previously unpublished) by the leading authority on the
postconquest Nahuas and Nahua-Spanish interaction brings together pieces that
reflect various facets of the author's research interests. Underlying most of
the pieces is the author's pioneering large-scale use of Nahua manuscripts to
illuminate the society and culture of native Mexicans in the Spanish colonial
period. The picture of the Nahuas that emerges shows them far less at odds with
the colonial world form it what is useful to them, and far more capable to
maintaining their own pre-conquest identity, than has previously been
suggested. The Nahua Indians of central Mexico were the most populus of Mesoamerica's
cultural-linguistic groups at the time of the Spanish conquest. These essays on
the postconquest Nahuas and Nahua-Spanish interaction bring together pieces
that reflect various facets of the author's research interests.
