"Altman's volume presents in very compelling ways a summary of primary sources about one of the earliest and most dramatic indigenous military challenges to the Spanish colonial state: the Mixton War (1540-1542). This work lucidly explores the variety of native responses to colonial might, which ranged from all-out war and annihilation to proud alliances with Spanish conquerors." -David Tavárez, author of The Invisible War: Indigenous Devotions, Discipline, and Dissent in Colonial Mexico, "The quality and quantity of transcribed and translated primary sources available through academic presses for classrooms and researchers constitutes one of the most promising developments in the field of Latin American studies. Ida Altman's Contesting Conquest: Indigenous Perspectives on the Spanish Occupation of Nueva Galicia, 1524-1545 is both a welcome and a long-needed contribution to this important scholarly genre." --Dana Velasco Murillo Hispanic American Historical Review, "Altman's volume presents in very compelling ways a summary of primary sources about one of the earliest and most dramatic indigenous military challenges to the Spanish colonial state: the Mixton War (1540-1542).

Synopsis
Contesting Conquest presents an important set of indigenous and Spanish accounts that document Spain's efforts to establish control over western Mexico during the first half of the sixteenth century. Though the 1521 defeat of the Mexica of Tenochtitlan signaled the downfall of the Aztec empire, large areas outside of central Mexico still remained outside the Spaniards' control. Home to groups such as the Maya of present-day Yucatan and Guatemala and the diverse peoples of western Mexico, these regions were strongly resilient to the establishment of Spanish rule. Ida Altman provides the first English translations of a set of accounts that directly reflect the perspectives of these indigenous peoples. These include a chronicle of Mendoza's campaign during the Mixton War, a letter from the exiled rebel leader Tenamaztle, and an account written by or on behalf of the rulers of the indigenous community of Xalisco. The narratives are supplemented by translations from Spanish sources that shed light on indigenous-Spanish interaction and conflict. Together these sources provide insights into indigenous struggles and illuminate the efforts of resistance met by their would-be conquerors. Providing multiple perspectives on Spanish campaigns to conquer modern-day Mexico and giving indigenous voices equal weight to that of the conquistadores, this book is an essential counterpoint to standard narratives of the Spanish conquest. It will be especially useful to students and scholars of Latin American colonial history., Contesting Conquest presents an important set of indigenous and Spanish accounts that document Spain's efforts to establish control over western Mexico during the first half of the sixteenth century.
