Deadly Baggage

- What Cortes Brought to Mexico and How It Destroyed the Aztec Civilization

Bag om Deadly Baggage

This analysis of the conquest of Mexico stands in contrast to previous narratives that either reduce the conquest to a contest between Cortes and Moctezuma, or describe a near miraculous victory of European ingenuity and Western values over Indian superstition and savagery. The author frames the clash of civilizations in New World prehistory that left inhabitants at a disadvantage.
