By: Miguel León-Portilla | Series: Beacon ClassicsThe revolutionary account of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, through the eyes of the vanished, challenging colonial narratives and centering Aztec voices
A limited Beacon Classics edition, with a gorgeous spot gloss cover and retro, classic palette
For hundreds of years, the history of the conquest of Mexico and the defeat of the Aztecs has been told in the words of the Spanish victors. This is only a small part of the full story. Miguel León-Portilla has long been at the forefront of expanding that history to include the voices of indigenous peoples. Portilla’s work translating and compiling the voices contained within the pages of The Broken Spears has been revered since the book’s original Spanish publication in 1959 and original English publication in 1962.
In this new edition of his classic, León-Portilla’s work to unearth the voices of Aztec people from the past and the present continues to illuminate untold realities of colonization. His work includes accounts from those present at the time of the conquest of Mexico and has been expanded to include accounts from native Aztec descendants across the centuries since. These texts bear witness to the extraordinary vitality of an oral tradition that preserves the viewpoints of the vanquished instead of the victors.
Through these firsthand accounts from Aztec peoples, a new story about the conquest of Mexico unfolds. Portilla translates these stories, but he also investigates how these firsthand accounts came to be, remaining cognizant of what can be lost in translation, and the stakes of allowing history to be written by the victors.
The Broken Spears is an exemplary body of historical work that seeks to challenge the pervasiveness of colonial narratives and continues to shape the study of history to this day.

Good quality wine cart.
Very sturdy bar cart and well made. Product came well packaged, with good instructions and even some extra screws. It is helpful to have 2 people putting it together. The only downside is the wine rack will not hold fatter bottles of wine but I added a small wine rack to the top.

Very nice cart.
The cart is very functional and relatively easy to put together. I was also provided a great tip on the assembly that made it much easier.

Very nice product. Not that difficult to put together. I did it by myself just following the instructions exactly. Have gotten compliments from my friends. Fits a lot.
Would definitely recommend. Nicely designed.

Pleasantly surprised!
The cart is super-sturdy, easy to assemble, and looks surprisingly nice. You would think that the “wood” (the rustic oak) on this cart would look hideous, but it’s not - and it looks good with the black metal.
Just make sure you have your own tools, like a screw driver with a 4 mm hex bit or an impact driver or screw driver with a 4 mm hex bit; it would take way too long with the supplied hex wrench, which although a good quality, is just too slow to use.)
