The Mapping of New Spain: Indigenous Cartography and the Maps of the Relaciones Geograficas Paperback - 2000
by Barbara E. Mundy
First line
If one could trace the genesis of the sixty-nine Relaciones Geograficas maps, following the narrative threads of the story along the globe of the earth, the filaments coming out of towns and villages in New Spain would twine together, stretching across the Atlantic.
From the rear cover
To learn about its territories in the New World, Spain commissioned a survey of Spanish officials in Mexico between 1578 and 1584, asking for local maps as well as descriptions of local resources, history, and geography. In The Mapping of New Spain, Barbara Mundy illuminates both the Amerindian (Aztec, Mixtec, and Zapotec) and the Spanish traditions represented in these maps and traces the reshaping of indigene world views in the wake of colonization.
