Abstract:
"Cultural anthropology of the conquest and the establishment of the colonial system in the 16th century. Explores basic human sentiments - wonderment, hatred, brutality, compassion - using both the Aztec and the Spanish prisms. Food, justice, benevolence, and gender are the venues used to examine the behavior of indigenous and Spanish peoples"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
