1. Conquistadores E Indios. La Historia No Contada
La historia no contada
A reinterpretation of the Spanish conquest that foregrounds Indigenous agency—alliances, negotiations, rivalries, and resistance—over simplistic tales of European superiority. Drawing on archaeology and ethnohistorical research, it reconstructs local conflicts and accommodations that determined outcomes across Spanish America. By dismantling heroic myths, it shows how epidemics, internal Indigenous politics, and contingent encounters shaped the formation of colonial society.
