Indigenous breadsellers riot over a Spanish monopoly scheme;
Spanish authorities plan to remove native people from the city;
indigenous people struggle to construct a splendid church; the
city's inhabitants fight over elections and witness hangings,
epidemics, and eclipses. All this and more a Native American writer
of Puebla, Mexico, reported in the late seventeenth century in a
set of annals in his own language, Nahuatl, telling his people's
local history from the coming of the Christian faith down to his
own day.
These records were part of a corpus of such annals produced in the
Tlaxcala-Puebla region during this period. These writings by native
peoples for their own posterity provide the most direct access to
the indigenous perspective on the postconquest centuries that we
are ever going to find.
"Here in This Year" for the first time brings two sets of Nahuatl
annals--the other one being from a more provincial locale--to the
English-speaking world, presenting the original Nahuatl with
facing, very readable translations.
