Mesoamerican Voices presents a collection of indigenous-language writings from the colonial period, translated into English. The texts were written from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries by Nahuas from central Mexico, Mixtecs from Oaxaca, Maya from Yucatan, and other groups from Mexico and Guatemala. The volume gives college teachers and students access to important new sources for the history of Latin America and Native Americans. It is the first collection to present the translated writings of so many native groups and to address such a variety of topics, including conquest, government, land, household, society, gender, religion, writing, law, crime, and morality.
Industry Reviews
"[This new valuable addition] to the growing corpus of indigenous voices from Mesoamerica will find a welcome home on the research desk, the teaching podium and the student's bookshelves, as we strive together to understand the meaning of the changes and continuities in native people's lives within the Spanish colonial framework." - Stephanie Wood, University of Oregon
