Native Traditions in the Postconquest World
edited by Elizabeth Hill Boone and Tom Cummins
This volume consists of papers from the Dumbarton Oaks conference marking the Quincentennial in 1992. By directing their attention toward the indigenous response to the Spanish intrusion, to the cultural adjustments and negotiations it required, the editors and authors of this volume hope that a better understanding can be achieved of the cultural features that made native societies so resilient.
