An update of a popular work that takes on the Myths of the Spanish Conquest of the Americas, featuring a new afterword.
This Updated Edition of a key event in the history of the Americas critically examines the book\'s arguments, how they have held up, and why they prompted the rise of a New Conquest History..
Conquest realities were more complex--and far more fascinating--than conventional histories have related, and they featured a more diverse cast of protagonists-Spanish, Native American, and African.
Using a wide array of primary and secondary sources, written in a scholarly but readable style, Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest explains why Columbus did not set out to prove the world was round, the conquistadors were not soldiers, the native Americans did not take them for gods, Cortés did not have a unique vision of conquest procedure, and handfuls of vastly outnumbered Spaniards did not bring down great empires with stunning rapidity.
Each of the book\'s Seven chapters describes one myth, or one aspect of the Conquest that has been distorted or misrepresented, examines its roots, and explodes its fallacies and misconceptions.
The 2003 Edition became the foundation stone of a scholarly turn since called The New Conquest History.
This book is a unique and provocative synthesis of ideas and themes that were for generations debated or perpetuated without question in academic and popular circles.
Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest reveals how the Spanish invasions in the Americas have been conceived and presented, misrepresented and misunderstood, in the five centuries since Columbus first crossed the Atlantic.
