| Publisher Description: Conquests are men's business, yet in the Conquest of Mexico there is a woman at its center. Five centuries after the Spaniards' arrival to Mexico, most of its people still believe the Spanish conquistadors conquered the Aztec Empire. British Boudicca and French Joan of Arc fought against foreign invaders; but in Mexico, a Native woman―Malintzin, fought on the side of the foreign conquerors. This anomalous phenomenon has been grossly overlooked by historians, who have allowed Hern n Cort s to steal the show while omitting the credits to Malintzin who directed it. In his first book, Zukame explores one of the greatest omissions in the study of this historical event―the immense contribution of Mesoamerican women in the overthrow of the Aztec Empire and subsequent imposition of Spanish rule. In this book, the author relies on scientific studies as well as on his personal observations of the living conditions in Mexico to this day. More than just a history book, Feminine Conquest, offers the reader a distinct manner of observing not just historical events but the very nature of reality. |
