Camilla Townsend traces Aztec history from the era before the Spanish conquest through the century that followed. The book draws on rarely used sources written in Nahuatl by Indigenous people, bringing those accounts into a broad historical narrative. Its scope connects pre-conquest life with the changes and continuities of the post-conquest period, making the source base central to how this history is presented.
