Contents:

Indigenous invasions: Mexicans & Maya from Teotihuacan to Tollan -- Templates of conquest: warfare & alliance in the shadow of Tenochtitlan -- Indian conquistadors: conquest & settlement in Central America -- The primacy of place: ciudad vieja as Indian town & colonial altepetl -- Creating memories: militias, cofradías, cabildos, & compadres -- Particularly Ladinos: language, Ladinization, & Mexicano identity.

Summary: Indigenous allies helped the Spanish gain a foothold in the Americas. What did these Indian conquistadors expect from the partnership, and what were the implications of their involvement in Spain's New World empire? Laura Matthew's study of Ciudad Vieja, Guatemala--the study first to focus on a single allied colony over the entire colonial period--places the Nahua, Zapotec, and Mixtec conquistadors of Guatemala and their descendants within a deeply Mesoamerican historical context. Drawing on archives, ethnography, and colonial Mesoamerican maps, Matthew argues that the conquest cannot be fully.
