The Broken Spears: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico by Miguel León-Portilla

5.0

An INCREDIBLE BOOK. As an indigenous Mexican I thought there were no records of the account from my people, this was life-changing. History has been so white-washed and sanitized. It was refreshing to read the direct accounts from indigenous folks who were victims of Spanish colonization, although enraging at times. It made me feel very connected to my ancestors. I’m so grateful for this book.
