Ambivalent Conquests
Inga Clendinnen
In what is both a specific study of conversion in a corner of the
Spanish Empire and a work with implications for the understanding of
European domination and native resistance throughout the colonial world,
Inga Clendinnen explores the intensifying conflict between competing
and increasingly divergent Spanish visions of Yucatan and its
destructive outcomes. In Ambivalent Conquests Clendinnen penetrates the
thinking and feeling of the Mayan Indians in a detailed reconstruction
of their assessment of the intruders. This new edition contains a
preface by the author where she reflects upon the book's contribution in
the past fifteen years. Inga Clendinnen is Emeritus scholar, LaTrobe
University, Australia.
"Clendinnen's elegantly written work describes the devastating
effects of Spanish conquest and settlement on the politically fragmented
Maya of the Yucatan until 1570.... Her account of the 1562
investigation into Maya religious practices and the political conflicts
that accompanied it makes fascinating reading." Choice
"This is a
splendid book by a gifted historian. With great subtlety and
imagination, Inga Clendinnen draws us into the swirls of missteps,
ambitions, deceptions, and fantasies that constituted the conquest drama
in Yucatan....Clendinnen has written a remarkably powerful and
compelling book....This study ranks among the very best scholarship on
the region and will dazzle any serious student of native American
peoples, Christian missionaries, and colonial situations." American
