81Book Reviews in the drama that was played out in New Mexico during his life. Miera y Pacheco comes across as a sycophant who–because he was a Peninsular and a paisano of several of the governors–was given opportunities that were beyond his abilities. Although he had no experience for the position, he self-promoted himself with King Carlos III, asking to be made “commandant general” (130). He begged Commandant Teodoro de Croix to find him a position, “resorting to flattery that today seems excessive” (132). His neighbors soon got his number, complaining that he had “undue influence…” (138). A renaissance man possesses knowledge and skills in a variety of fields. Aside from art and cartography, in which he was capable, Miera y Pacheco had no other proficiencies. This conclusion is clearly drawn from Kessell’s own account. Early in his career Miera y Pacheco tried his luck at being a miner but the silver mine he purchased proved unproductive (12). He tried farming and failed. He tried being a debt collector but “could not deliver” (30). He proved better as a debtor, having to spend a number of days in jail for non-payment of merchandise (31-32). He volunteered to repair some cannons but “had to admit…the cannons wouldn’t work” (45). His experience as a municipal administrator (alcalde mayor) met with disfavor with his constituents who complained “every day he is planning things, all of them of great harm to the kingdom.” He volunteered as a dam builder but the dam was washed away (147). While Kessell credits Miera y Pacheco with “unrivaled knowledge of the kingdom’s human and physical geography,” he at the same time cites numerous instances where this knowledge was lacking. On one occasion Pacheco had to apologize to Croix for “failing to discover a more direct route” between El Paso and Sonora (152). On a number of occasions his maps were several degrees off in longitude or latitude. His artwork was certainly noteworthy but he was hardly the only artist in the province and Fray Andrés García was “best known and most prolific” (75). In sum, Kessell’s central theme is unsupported by his own research. Still this work is an important contribution to the study of the Spanish influence in the American Southwest. The author’s descriptions of the contributions of the various governors and provincial leaders are both extensive and significant. His accounts of the various native tribes and their activities vis-à-vis the Spanish interlopers is also a valuable addition to the growing scholarship in this area of historical research. Finally, Kessell provides a worthwhile narrative on the role the Church played in Spain’s efforts to colonize and convert the native populations. Alfredo E.

Discussion Question(s) Why do you think that Native Allies and African Conquistadors were not mentioned in European accounts of the conquest? Do you think it was intentional or unintentional? Why? Portrayals of Malintzin have been unfair to her, historically. My question is this: why do you think the stories have been so unfair to her, while Cortes and other conquistadors are either rewarded or ignored for actually carrying out the conquest? How do your readings connect to either of these questions? Lecture 3- Steamrolling? "Malintzin was the indigenous woman who translated for Hernando Cortés in his dealings with the Aztec emperor Moctezuma in the days of 1519 to 1521. "Malintzin," at least, was what the Indians called her. The Spanish called her doña Marina, and she has become known to posterity as La Malinche. As Malinche, she has long been regarded as a traitor to her people, a dangerously sexy, scheming woman who gave Cortés whatever he wanted out of her own self-interest. The life of the real woman, however, was much more complicated. She was sold into slavery as a child, and eventually given away to the Spanish as a concubine and cook. If she managed to make something more out of her life--and she did--it is difficult to say at what point she did wrong." Actually, that is a good question: what did she do wrong? Not much, it turns out-- having been sold by her family, and again by the subsequent owners, exactly what kind of loyalty was she supposed to have? Who was it that she was supposed to not "sell out?" No one, it turns out. Historians today know that she was doing her best to stay alive, and make a life for herself, and given her situation and life experiences, it is hard to expect anything more. For me, at least, this raises a simple question: why are people in such a hurry to blame Malintzin for the conquest, when, in fact, they should be blaming the Spanish? Why did the blame shift to her, instead of where it should have been-- on Cortes and his men? Just curious. The Indigenous Allies: Check out this Prezi presentation! Short and sweet! Think about it alongside your readings! (Links to an external site.) ñ Spanish, Slavery, and Encomiendas (Early Colonial Period) In U.S. History, people debate quite a lot about the plight of Native Americans. Some people believe that Native Americans were given a chance to be a part of the developing American culture, others say they were not. Still others, citing the diminishing numbers of Native Americans and the active role that the U.S. government and its white citizens took in killing and displacing Native Americans, call it genocide. In Latin America, it is a little more complicated. The removal, displacement, and murder of Native Americans is undeniable in U.S. history, but such actions did not take place in Mexico, or other parts of Latin America, at least not on the same scale. The reason for this is that the goals of the British and the Spanish were different wh.
