"The Broken Spears": The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico
[ send me this report ]
A 6 page overview of Miguel Leon Portilla's "The Broken Spears : The Aztec Account of the
Conquest of Mexico". Reveals that this book differs from typical accounts of the conquest of
Mexico in that it is one of the few accounts which is presented from the aspect of the indigenous
peoples who lived there rather than from the perspective of the European marauders who
invaded their lands and killed their peoples. Examines the question of why the Spanish were able
to conquer the Aztec. Suggests that this accomplishment is not just due to technological
superiority but also to Spanish mindset. The Spanish conquered the Aztec by destroying their
culture and exposing them to the ravages of disease. No additional sources are listed.

Women in Colonial Latin America
[ send me this report ]
a 6 page research paper which examines the role of women in colonial Latin America. The colonial world of Latin America was intrinsically different from that of North America and this difference had a tremendous impact on the women of Latin America at that time. Although North America was rich in natural resources, the natives of North America did not have the gold of the Incas or the Aztecs. Consequently, the Europeans that came to North America's shores came to colonize-they brought women with them. Those early Europeans, specifically the Spanish, that came to Latin America did so solely for the purposes of exploitation, not for colonization. Because of this, the Spanish conquerors typically did not bring women with them from Europe. The writer argues that the native women in colonial Latin America were viewed by Europeans as simply one more resources that they could exploit. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
