The Aztecs in Their Own Words

Butterfield, Kevin

At the Library of Congress

Clips are not offered for this film: the Library of Congress states its rights in its own words, not as a public licence, which leaves reuse unclear.

About

What did the Aztecs say about themselves when they were speaking their own language and writing for their own people? In such sources, the picture of them that emerges is profoundly different than Spanish colonial sources. Camilla Townsend, Jay I. Kislak Chair for the Study of the History and Cultures of the Early Americas, explores this topic in the annual Kislak Lecture at the Library of Congress. Townsend is Board of Governors Distinguished Professor of History at Rutgers University and the author of “Fifth Sun: A New History of the Aztecs” and “Indigenous Life After the Conquest: The De la Cruz Family Papers of Colonial Mexico.”
