Description
In November 1519, Hernando Cort233swalked along
a causeway leading to the capital of the Aztec
kingdom and came face to face with Moctezuma.
That story--and the story of what happened
afterwards--has been told many times, but always
following the narrative offered by the Spaniards.
After all, we have been taught, it was the
Europeans who held the pens. But the Native
Americans were intrigued by the Roman alphabet
and, unbeknownst to the newcomers, they used it
to write detailed histories in their own language
of Nahuatl. Until recently, these sources
remained obscure, only partially translated, and
rarely consulted by scholars. For the first time,
in Fifth Sun, the history of the Aztecs is
offered in all its complexity based solely on the
texts written by the indigenous people
themselves. Camilla Townsend presents an
accessible and humanized depiction of these
native Mexicans, rather than seeing them as the
exotic, bloody figures of European stereotypes.
The conquest, in this work, is neither an
apocalyptic moment, nor an origin story launching
Mexicans into existence. The Mexica people had a
history of their own long before the Europeans
arrived and did not simply capitulate to Spanish
culture and colonization. Instead, they
realigned their political allegiances,
accommodated new obligations, adopted new
technologies, and endured. This engaging
revisionist history of the Aztecs, told through
their own words, explores the experience of a
once-powerful people facing the trauma of
conquest and finding ways to survive, offering an
empathetic interpretation for experts and
non-specialists alike.
