This painting is the oldest known map of Guatemala and a rare document of the experiences of indigenous conquistadors. \u003cbr\u003eThe people of the Nahua community of Quauhquechollan (present-day San Mart? Huaquechula), in central Mexico, allied with Cort駸 during the Spanish-Aztec War and were assigned to the Spanish conquistador Jorge de Alvarado. De Alvarado and his allies, including the Quauhquecholteca and thousands of other indigenous warriors, set off for Guatemala in 1527 to start a campaign against the Maya. The few Quauhquecholteca who lived to tell the story recorded their travels and eventual victory on the huge cloth map, the \u003ci\u003eLienzo de Quauhquechollan\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eConquered Conquistadors\u003c\/i\u003e, published in a European edition in 2004, overturned conventional views of the European conquest of indigenous cultures. American historians and anthropologists will relish this new edition and Asselbergs's astute analysis, which includes context, interpretation, and comparison with other pictographic accounts of the \"Spanish\" conquest. This heavily illustrated edition includes an insert reproduction of the \u003ci\u003eLienzo de Quauhquechollan\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Florine Asselbergs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0870818996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870818998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Colorado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/10\/2008 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2009","brand":"Florine Asselbergs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980666568959,"sku":"9780870818998","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98309144-c4b5-4717-980f-193af2e6f301.jpg?v=1683251202","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conquered-conquistadors-florine-asselbergs-9780870818998","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
