'It is rare indeed that a historian of early Latin America can read a first-person account of public events and find that it unmistakably offers a perspective that only a native person would have had. The historical annals of colonial Mexico, written in Nahuatl... do just that' (p. 1). With these words, Camilla Townsend introduces her impressive study of two Nahuatl annals - texts containing a chronological listing of events throughout the years - from the Tlaxcala-Puebla region.
