Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. CCA-3 This book is a curious artifact. William Gates has translated it from the original Spanish, and added to de Landa's work, a collection of documents. De Landa, once Friar General of the Franciscan missionary effort in the Yucatan, was tried in Spain after his original stint in the area. His book does contain some special pleading, but is the pioneering work in the field of Mayan ethnography. The additional documents, as well as relating the particulars of the charges against him, also inform the reader about the first thirty years of Spanish activity in the area, and the vicious side of the Spanish Imperial policy in the New world. It is a good book with which to begin one's acquaintance with the Empire, and the area. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
