Here is the complete history of the Indians of the Valley of Mexico, one of the two most important religious groups in the Spanish empire in America, from the Conquest to Independence in the early nineteenth century. Based upon ten years of research, this study focuses on the effect if Spanish institutions on Indian life at the local level. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

However, the author does not feel the need to provide any kind of evaluative commentary on his narrative. To a modern reader this seems absurd, particularly in light of the fact that the Aztec population declined precipitously after the conquest and was clearly exploited by its conquerors. In the 400 pages which constitute the main part of this book, the author spends perhaps two or three pages on discussing the reasons for Aztec decline and refrains from any moral condemnation. It was probably an ideal of historical scholarship in the 1960's not to pass judgment on bygone ages, but this attitude is not really satisfactory in the 21st century, especially in a book which claims to provide a discussion of the Aztec people. I would for this reason not recommend this book to modern readers even though the scholarship itself is of high quality.
