À propos de cet audio

 For hundreds of years, the history of the conquest of Mexico and the defeat of the Aztecs has been told in the words of the Spanish victors. Miguel León-Portilla has long been at the forefront of expanding that history to include the voices of indigenous peoples. In this new and updated edition of his classic The Broken Spears, León-Portilla has included accounts from native Aztec descendants across the centuries. These texts bear witness to the extraordinary vitality of an oral tradition that preserves the viewpoints of the vanquished instead of the victors. León-Portilla's new Postscript reflects upon the critical importance of these unexpected historical accounts. Amériques Ancienne Mexique Monde Sciences sociales

Listened to conquistador by buddy levy which was great. Figured I would see how it was recorded from Aztec side. Found this book. It was a sad description of the events that were all told in conquistador book. All events in this book were included in other read but in much better detail without hours of opinion that western accounts were flawed or skewed. Go to conquistador and save yourself a bunch of time.

Meh.
