Nahua Horizons: Writing, Persuasion, and Futurities in Colonial Mexico
investigates how Nahuas conceptualized their futures in the early colonial period. Scholar Ezekiel G. Stear delves deeply into canonical texts such as the
Florentine Codex
and the
Crónica mexicayotl
as well as understudied texts such as the
Lienzo de Quauhquechollan
, the
Tira de Tepechpan
, and the
Anales de Juan Bautista
. The study does more than describe how Nahuas conceived of their own futures: it also shows their specific plans for moving into the coming years.
The book examines how Nahua writers in Central Mexico and other Mesoamerican voices in colonial Spanish America played an active, decisive role in shaping culture, using writing to persuade their communities to mold their own destinies, even amid colonial upheaval. This work opens up new directions for research and teaching, shifting inquiry from how Nahuas preserved cultural continuity to how they envisioned their roles as pathfinders toward times to come.
Nahua Horizons
challenges the notion that the Spanish erased Nahua culture. The book emphasizes the ways people kept sovereignty over the futures they envisioned for themselves and their communities. Stear’s bold new approach follows the paths that Nahuas forged ahead into unknown times.
