Rethinking Zapotec Time
Charity for and by the Poor
Particularly examining Indigenous confraternities sponsored by Franciscan friars in New Spain, this work makes the contention that Indigenous peoples eagerly supported the early proliferation and enduring persistence of religious sodalities because they provided valuable aid and services. The work highlights European scholarship on confraternities, mainly covering Hapsburg realms, that centers on what these institutions purported to do for commun…
El gobernante en Mesoamérica
Focused on pre-Columbian Mesoamerican rulership, this collection stems from collaboration among a group of scholars who came together for a conference organized in 2015 in Mexico. El gobernante en Mesoamérica contains five essays that boldly aim to discuss the state of current knowledge about native government across Mesoamerica. Such work is necessary and increasingly relevant, particularly given recent studies on the persistence of native gover…
Sustaining the Divine in Mexico Tenochtitlan
B radley B enton . The Lords of Tetzcoco
A brief but dense book, Bradley Benton’s The Lords of Tetzcoco makes a significant contribution to the study of indigenous nobility and governance in sixteenth-century Mexico. It concludes, relying upon diverse and careful research, that earlier studies were wrong to state that by the dawn of the seventeenth century, colonialism and its pressures had reduced the native nobility to poverty. Rather, Benton argues, although some among the native rul…
Annals of Native America
In an unusual style inspired by the mid-twentieth-century Erich Auerbach tome Mimesis, this work reproduces sizable sections of a variety of primary sources in translation (the originals almost exclusively are in Nahuatl) and places them in historical context to highlight the mechanisms employed by Nahuas to preserve their history and identity under colonialism. Townsend’s effort highlights the appeal and persuasiveness of good storytelling and n…
Osvaldo F. Pardo. Honor and Personhood in Early Modern Mexico
Osvaldo Pardo’s Honor and Personhood in Early Modern Mexico focuses mostly on regular clergy—monks from Franciscan, Dominican, and Jesuit orders—and their role as cultural and social educators of native peoples in Mesoamerica. Pardo assumes that a necessary interconnectedness existed between ecclesiastical and secular authority. Therefore, ecclesiastical agents interacted with native peoples in a way that directly influenced how the local populat…
De sangre noble y hábiles costumbres
This essay will discuss the unusual rise to power of don Bartolom Corts y Mendoza Axaycatzin, who was appointed by viceroy Cadereita to serve as governor of Mexico Tenochtitlan in 1636 without mandate from the community. He had previously served as governor in Puebla de los Angeles-the most Spanish city in seventeenth century Mexico, which had no original native communities before the arrival of Europeans. The paper will explore the problem of na…
