    Content: The 250th anniversary of the founding of Rutgers University is a perfect moment for the Rutgers community to reconcile its past, and acknowledge its role in the enslavement and debasement of African Americans and the disfranchisement and elimination of Native American people and culture. Scarlet and Black documents the history of Rutgers’s connection to slavery, which was neither casual nor accidental—nor unusual. Like most early American colleges, Rutgers depended on slaves to build its campuses and serve its students and faculty; it depended on the sale of black people to fund its very existence. Men like John Henry Livingston, (Rutgers president from 1810–1824), the Reverend Philip Milledoler, (president of Rutgers from 1824–1840), Henry Rutgers, (trustee after whom the college is named), and Theodore Frelinghuysen, (Rutgers’s seventh president), were among the most ardent anti-abolitionists in the mid-Atlantic. Scarlet and black are the colors Rutgers University uses to represent itself to the nation and world. They are the colors the athletes compete in, the graduates and administrators wear on celebratory occasions, and the colors that distinguish Rutgers from every other university in the United States. This book, however, uses these colors to signify something else: the blood that was spilled on the banks of the Raritan River by those dispossessed of their land and the bodies that labored unpaid and in bondage so that Rutgers could be built and sustained. The contributors to this volume offer this history as a usable one—not to tear down or weaken this very renowned, robust, and growing institution—but to strengthen it and help direct its course for the future. The work of the Committee on Enslaved and Disenfranchised Population in Rutgers History. Visit the project's website at http://scarletandblack.rutgers.edu

    Content: "ES GIBT NICHT VIELE BÜCHER, DIE UNSEREN BLICK AUF DIE VERGANGENHEIT VÖLLIG VERÄNDERN. DIES IST EINES VON IHNEN." PETER FRANKOPAN Im November 1519 kommt es zur weltberühmten Begegnung von Hernando Cortés mit dem Aztekenherrscher Moctezuma. Was damals passierte und was danach geschah, ist oft erzählt worden, aber vor allem so, wie die Spanier es uns präsentiert haben. Camilla Townsend stellt in ihrem glänzend erzählten, preisgekrönten Buch die faszinierende, vielschichtige Geschichte der Azteken konsequent aus deren eigener Perspektive dar. Wir haben gelernt, dass die Schrift den Europäern gehörte. Doch nach der Ankunft der Spanier und unbemerkt von diesen nutzten die Azteken das lateinische Alphabet, um ihre Geschichte in ihrer Sprache Nahuatl selbst aufzuschreiben. Auf der Grundlage dieser Texte korrigiert Camilla Townsend unsere Vorstellungen von der aztekischen Kultur gewaltig. Anstatt den europäischen Stereotypen einer exotischen, blutrünstigen Gesellschaft zu folgen, zeichnet sie ein sehr viel menschlicheres Bild jener Indigenen, die sich selbst Mexica nannten. Sie macht auch deutlich, dass die Eroberung durch die Spanier weder eine Apokalypse noch der Ursprung der Mexikaner war. Denn das Volk der Mexica kapitulierte nicht einfach vor der spanischen Kultur und Kolonisierung. Stattdessen richteten sie ihre politischen Loyalitäten neu aus, übernahmen neue Technologien und hielten durch. Glänzend erzählt, erkundet dieses Buch die Erfahrungen eines einst mächtigen Volkes, das mit dem Trauma der Eroberung konfrontiert war und Wege fand zu überleben. Die Welt mit den Augen der Azteken betrachtet Camilla Townsend korrigiert jahrhundertealte europäische Stereotype Glänzend erzählt in sehr viel menschlicheres Bild der aztekischen Kultur Ausgezeichnet mit dem Cundill History Prize, dem bestdotierten Sachbuchpreis weltweit

    Series Statement: Latin American Originals ; 16
    Content: This book presents a unique set of written records belonging to the De la Cruz family, caciques of Tepemaxalco in the Toluca Valley. Composed in Nahuatl and Spanish and available here both in the original languages and in English translation, this collection of documents opens a window onto the life of a family from colonial Mexico’s indigenous elite and sheds light on the broader indigenous world within the Spanish colonial system.The main text is a record created in 1647 by long-serving governor don Pedro de la Cruz and continued by his heirs through the nineteenth century, along with two wills and several other notable documents. These sources document a community history, illuminating broader issues centering on politics, religion, and economics as well as providing unusual insight into the concerns and values of indigenous leaders. These texts detail the projects financed by the De la Cruz family, how they talked about them, and which belongings they deemed important enough to pass along after their death. Designed for classroom use, this clear and concise primary source includes a wealth of details about indigenous everyday life and preserves and makes accessible a rich and precious heritage. The engaging introduction highlights issues of class relations and the public and performative character of Nahua Christianity. The authors provide the necessary tools to help students understand the colonial context in which these documents were produced.

    ISBN: 978-0-19-067307-9 , 978-0-19-067308-6
    Content: "Five hundred years ago, in November 1519, Hernando Cortés walked along a causeway leading to the capital of the Aztec kingdom and came face to face with Moctezuma. That story--and the story of what happened afterwards--has been told many times, but always from the point of view of the Europeans. After all, we have been taught, it was the Europeans who held the pens. But the Native Americans were more intrigued by the Roman alphabet than the Spaniards ever knew. Unbeknownst to the newcomers, the Aztecs took it home and used it to write detailed histories in their own language of Nahuatl. Until recently, these sources remained obscure, only partially translated, and almost never consulted by scholars. For the first time, in Fifth Sun, the history of the Aztecs is offered in all its complexity, in an account based solely on the texts written by the people themselves. The Aztecs suddenly appear as real people, rather than the exotic, bloody figures of stereotypes. The conquest is neither an apocalyptic moment, nor an origin story launching Mexicans into existence. This book presents the story of Native Americans who had a history of their own long before the Europeans arrived and who used their talents to survive when the worst of times came upon them. It shows people who realigned their political allegiances, accommodated new obligations, adopted new technologies (such as alphabetic writing and European paper), and carried on. This revisionist history of the Aztecs explores the experience of a once-powerful people facing the trauma of conquest--as well as their survival and continuity--offering an accessible and humanized depiction of a civilization for experts and non-specialists alike."--Provided by publisher
