Summary:

This book examines the role of human sacrifice in the colonial historical discourse surrounding the indigenous cultures of Mexico, particularly the Mexica. It explores how European colonizers interpreted and codified indigenous rituals, using them to construct narratives about cultural difference, religion, and history. The work delves into the rhetorical and ideological frameworks that shaped the portrayal of human sacrifice, analyzing its impact on the development of modern historical thought and the colonial imagination. Drawing on sources such as the writings of Bernardino de Sahagún and other early chroniclers, the book investigates the intersection of ritual, violence, and colonialism, highlighting the complexities of cultural representation and memory in the colonial archive.
