Paperback. Zustand: Good. Although Cortes conquered the Aztec empire in 1521, imperial Spain knew little about the Mexican territory under its control when Philip II acceded to the throne in 1556. As part of a vast project to learn about its territories in the New World, Spain commissioned a survey - the Relaciones Geograficas - of Spanish officials in Mexico between 1578 and 1584, as king for local maps as well as descriptions of local resources, history, and geography. Offering a contemporary record of what sixteenth-century Mexico looked like, the sixty-nine manuscript maps from this survey also highlight the gulf between colonial and indigenous conceptions of Mexico. In this text Barbara Mundy illuminates the complex cultural negotiations that colonists and indigenes undertook in mapping the colony. She explains the Amerindian and Spanish traditions represented in these early colonial maps, and traces the gradual reshaping of indigenous world views in the wake of colonization.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Winner, Book Prize in Latin American Studies, Colonial Section of Latin American Studies Association (LASA), 2016 ALAA Book Award, Association for Latin American Art/Arvey Foundation, 2016The capital of the Aztec empire, Tenochtitlan, was, in its era, one of the largest cities in the world. Built on an island in the middle of a shallow lake, its population numbered perhaps 150,000, with another 350,000 people in the urban network clustered around the lake shores. In 1521, at the height of Tenochtitlan's power, which extended over much of Central Mexico, Hernando CortÉs and his followers conquered the city. CortÉs boasted to King Charles V of Spain that Tenochtitlan was "destroyed and razed to the ground." But was it?Drawing on period representations of the city in sculptures, texts, and maps, The Death of Aztec Tenochtitlan, the Life of Mexico City builds a convincing case that this global capital remained, through the sixteenth century, very much an Amerindian city. Barbara E. Mundy foregrounds the role the city's indigenous peoples, the Nahua, played in shaping Mexico City through the construction of permanent architecture and engagement in ceremonial actions. She demonstrates that the Aztec ruling elites, who retained power even after the conquest, were instrumental in building and then rebuilding the city. Mundy shows how the Nahua entered into mutually advantageous alliances with the Franciscans to maintain the city's sacred nodes. She also focuses on the practical and symbolic role of the city's extraordinary waterworks-the product of a massive ecological manipulation begun in the fifteenth century-to reveal how the Nahua struggled to maintain control of water resources in early Mexico City.…

Presenting a radically new interpretation that reorients Spanish-centric historiography and recognizes indigenous agency, this visually compelling book maps the continuities between Aztec Tenochtitlan and sixteenth-century Mexico City.

01-02-2018 edición 230 La capital azteca fue una de las ciudades más grandes y complejas del mundo: construida en una isla en medio de un lago poco profundo, con una sólida infraestructura para lidiar con los recursos hídricos, su población llegó a rondar los 150 mil habitantes. Y sin embargo, en 1521, en la cúspide de su poder, la urbe imperial se rindió ante Hernán Cortés y sus exiguas tropas. Se diría que entonces murió Tenochtitlán y nació la ciudad de México. Basándose en un original análisis de crónicas, mapas, esculturas y restos arquitectónicos, Barbara E. Mundy muestra en esta obra que la joya urbana de los mexicas siguió brillando en la ciudad edificada por los conquistadores españoles -y que algo de ella aún late en la megalópolis de nuestros días-. La autora no sólo pone de relieve el papel que los pueblos indígenas jugaron en la configuración de la capital novohispana, sino que demuestra que las élites aztecas, que conservaron un gran y sutil poder incluso después de la conquista, contribuyeron a la construcción -arquitectónica, simbólica, social- de la nueva ciudad. páginas/pasges.…
