The Program in Latin America, Caribbean and Latinx Studies is glad to present<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camilla Townsend<\/strong> (History, Rutgers University) for a talk on Aztec Imperialism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camilla\u00a0Townsend\u00a0argues that Aztec imperial policies were not so much based on their \u201ccosmovision\u201d as on Realpolitik. She makes this assessment drawing on her research in sixteenth-century writings in the Aztec language of Nahuatl. These sources yield a picture quite different from one stemming from statements made by Spaniards or Indigenous people working closely with Spaniards, or one based primarily on the archaeological remains found at the Templo Mayor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
