Overview

This book studies Nahuas and Spaniards in the central Mexican jurisdiction of Coyoacan from the Spanish conquest until 1650, crafting a multidimensional portrait of their relations in both institutional and informal settings. Initially, the primary site of Nahua-Spaniard contact was institutional, as Spanish authorities attempted to reshape local practices to fit their own notions and needs, changing regional states into Spanish municipalities and Christian parishes, local ruling bodies into town councils, and tribute goods into standardized payments in coin. These efforts were never entirely successful, as Nahuas only partially adjusted their own practices when faced with the changes initiated by the Spaniards. The author explores the ways in which new forms of government and economic customs developed, drawing on both Nahua and Spanish traditions.

'A valuable contribution to the study of colonial Mexican history, this is the first full-length study to address both components of colonial Mexican society - indigenous and Hispanic - in a specific region over a substantial period of time. The scholarship is extensive, exacting, and thorough, and the author has worked through an impressive range of sources in depth, which makes the seeming ease with which she presents what is often difficult material all the more impressive.'
