The Conquest of Mexico

The Conquest of Mexico

500 Years of Reinventions

Edited by Peter B. Villella and Pablo García Loaeza

Preface by Matthew Restall

A valuable contribution to ongoing efforts to demythologize and properly memorialize the Spanish-Aztec War of 1519–21, this volume also aptly illustrates how we make history of the past and how that history-making shapes our present—and possibly our future.
 

Return to Aztlan

Return to Aztlan

Indians, Spaniards, and the Invention of Nuevo México

by Danna A. Levin Rojo

Employing long-overlooked historical and anthropological evidence, Danna A. Levin Rojo reveals how ideas these natives held about their own past helped determine where Spanish explorers would go and what they would conquer in the northwest frontier of New Spain—present-day New Mexico and Arizona. Return to Aztlan thus remaps an extraordinary century during which, for the first time, Western minds were seduced by Native American historical memories.

Movement of Ideas, Art, and People in Spanish America

Edited by Jorge F. Rivas Pérez

In this beautifully illustrated volume, an international group of scholars present recent research on the movement of goods, art, and artists—and the circulation of ideas and ideologies—that shaped culture in Spanish America from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the first half of the nineteenth century. Their essays, now revised and expanded, were originally presented in 2016 at the annual symposium of the Frederick and Jan Mayer Center for Pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial Art at the Denver Art Museum.

Listening to Rosita

The Business of Tejana Music and Culture, 1930–1955

by Mary Ann Villarreal

In Listening to Rosita, Villarreal seeks answers by pursuing the story of a small group of Tejana singers and entrepreneurs in Corpus Christi, Houston, and San Antonio—the “Texas Triangle”—during the mid-twentieth century. Ultimately she recovers a social world and cultural landscape in central south Texas where Mexican American women negotiated the shifting boundaries of race and economics to assert a public presence.
