Nuño de Guzmán
Biografía muy documentada de quien fuera presidente de la Audiencia de la Nueva España y conquistador de Jalisco (1527-1538), que acabó encarcelado y deportado a España por incontables delitos de crueldad, sevicia y corrupción contra los naturales y españoles. Completan el volumen las cartas del biografiado en descargo de las acusaciones que se le hicieron.
Nuño de Guzmán
Este primer volumen (de tres) ofrece la investigación secreta llevada a cabo por el licenciado Diego de la Torre, en el contexto del Juicio de Residencia, contra Nuño de Guzmán, el controvertido gobernador de la Nueva Galicia. Acompañado de una biografía de Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán, este libro busca arrojar luz sobre esta figura histórica todavía mal conocida. Nuño de Guzmán marcó los primeros años de vida institucional de lo que hoy es el territorio mexicano. Fue gobernador de Pánuco (hoy al norte de Veracruz), juez y presidente de la Audiencia de México, Nueva España, pero también conquistador, fundador y primer gobernador de la Nueva Galicia. Desde entonces hasta nuestros días, Nuño de Guzmán, oriundo de Guadalajara, nunca ha dejado indiferente a nadie.
The Relación de Michoacán (1539-1541) and the Politics of Representation in Colonial Mexico
The Relación de Michoacán (1539–1541) is one of the earliest surviving illustrated manuscripts from colonial Mexico. Commissioned by the Spanish viceroy Antonio de Mendoza, the Relación was produced by a Franciscan friar together with indigenous noble informants and anonymous native artists who created its forty-four illustrations. To this day, the Relación remains the primary source for studying the pre-Columbian practices and history of the people known as Tarascans or P'urhépecha. However, much remains to be said about how the Relación's colonial setting shaped its final form. By looking at the Relación in its colonial context, this study reveals how it presented the indigenous c...
Captives of Conquest
Captives of Conquest is one of the first books to examine the earliest indigenous slave trade in the Spanish Caribbean. Erin Woodruff Stone shows how upwards of 250,000 people were removed through slavery, a lucrative business that formed the foundation of economic, legal, and religious policies in the Spanish colonies.
Rereading the Conquest
Combining social history with literary criticism, James Krippner-Martínez shows how a historiographically sensitive rereading of contemporaneous documents concerning the sixteenth-century Spanish conquest and evangelization of Michoacán, and of later writings using them, can challenge traditional celebratory interpretations of missionary activity in early colonial Mexico. The book offers a fresh look at religion, politics, and the writing of history by employing a poststructuralist method that engages the exclusions as well as the content of the historical record. The moments of doubt, contradiction, and ambiguity thereby uncovered lead to deconstructing a coherent conquest narrative that ...
Chimalpahin's Conquest
This volume presents the story of Hernando Cortés's conquest of Mexico, as recounted by a contemporary Spanish historian and edited by Mexico's premier Nahua historian. Francisco López de Gómara's monumental Historia de las Indias y Conquista de México was published in 1552 to instant success. Despite being banned from the Americas by Prince Philip of Spain, La conquista fell into the hands of the seventeenth-century Nahua historian Chimalpahin, who took it upon himself to make a copy of the tome. As he copied, Chimalpahin rewrote large sections of La conquista, adding information about Emperor Moctezuma and other key indigenous people who participated in those first encounters. Chialpahin's Conquest is thus not only the first complete modern English translation of López de Gómara's La conquista, an invaluable source in itself of information about the conquest and native peoples; it also adds Chimalpahin's unique perspective of Nahua culture to what has traditionally been a very Hispanic portrayal of the conquest.
Spanish Texas, 1519–1821
This revised and expanded edition of the authoritative history of Spanish Texas features significant new discoveries throughout. Modern Texas, like Mexico, traces its beginning to sixteenth-century encounters between Europeans and Indians. Unlike Mexico, however, Texas eventually received the stamp of Anglo-American culture, so that Spanish contributions to present-day Texas tend to be obscured or even unknown. Spanish Texas, 1519–1821 undercores the significance of the Spanish period in Texas history. Beginning with an overview of the land and its inhabitants before the arrival of Europeans, it covers major people and events from early exploration to the end of the colonial era. This new ...
