Despite being banned from the Americas by Prince Philip of Spain, \u003ci\u003eLa conquista\u003c\/i\u003e fell into the hands of the seventeenth-century Nahua historian Chimalpahin, who took it upon himself to make a copy of the tome. As he copied, Chimalpahin rewrote large sections of \u003ci\u003eLa conquista\u003c\/i\u003e, adding information about Emperor Moctezuma and other key indigenous people who participated in those first encounters. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChialpahin's Conquest\u003c\/i\u003e is thus not only the first complete modern English translation of López de Gómara's \u003ci\u003eLa conquista\u003c\/i\u003e, an invaluable source in itself of information about the conquest and native peoples; it also adds Chimalpahin's unique perspective of Nahua culture to what has traditionally been a very Hispanic portrayal of the conquest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Schroeder is the Scholes Professor of Colonial Latin American History at Tulane.
