A History of Mexican Archaeology
"My overriding concern in this book has been, not to write a historical account of the theories and methods current at various times, and used by different researchers, but to pass in review the sequence of accretions to the store of knowledge, while at the same time giving some attention to those errors which often delay this process."--From the introduction.
Bernardino de Sahagun
He was sent from Spain on a religious crusade to Mexico to “detect the sickness of idolatry,” but Bernardino de Sahagún (c. 1499-1590) instead became the first anthropologist of the New World. The Franciscan monk developed a deep appreciation for Aztec culture and the Nahuatl language. In this biography, Miguel León-Portilla presents the life story of a fascinating man who came to Mexico intent on changing the traditions and cultures he encountered but instead ended up working to preserve them, even at the cost of persecution. Sahagún was responsible for documenting numerous ancient texts and other native testimonies. He persevered in his efforts to study the native Aztecs until he ha...

Los Ángeles del destino humano
En este libro, Lucy Aspra explica la labor que realizan los Ángeles. De Lucy Aspra, experta en temas de ángeles y seres espirituales. El trabajo de los Ángeles es mucho más extenso que lo que describen algunos textos antiguos. No están limitados sólo a ciertos aspectos místicos, ni confinados únicamente a llevar a cabo las ceremonias religiosas, pues todo lo que el ojo humano alcanza a percibir, y que es noble, bueno y altruista, procede de la labor que realizan. Los Ángeles están en todo aquello que nos encamina a elevar nuestro estado de conciencia, y los seres humanos, sin notarlo, los estudian diariamente, porque son estos celestiales seres los que conducen las energías que pr...

National Narratives in Mexico
If history is written by the victors, then as the rulers of a nation change, so too does the history. Mexico has had many distinct periods of history, demonstrating clearly that the tale changes with the writer. In National Narratives in Mexico, Enrique Florescano examines each historical vision of Mexico as it was interpreted in its own time, revealing the influences of national or ethnic identity, culture, and evolving concepts of history and national memory. Florescano shows how the image of Mexico today is deeply rooted in ideas of past Mexicos—ancient Mexico, colonial Mexico, revolutionary Mexico—and how these ideas can be more fully understood by examining Mexico’s past historians. An awareness of the historian’s cultural perspective helps us to understand which types of evidence would be considered valid in constructing a national narrative. These considerations are important in modern Mexican historiography, as historians begin to question the validity of Mexico’s “collective memory.” Enhanced by more than two hundred drawings, photographs, and maps, National Narratives in Mexico offers a new vision of Mexico’s turbulent history.
