Resources and Information About Indigenous People of Mexico Pre-Conquest
Since there is a lot of information that many people do not know about the indigenous people of Mexico and many demonize and make them seem lesser and subhuman, particularly the Aztec people and only hyper focus on human sacrifice; I wanted to make a post that compiles a list where people can learn many things that I find is typically not known such as the knowledge indigenous people, most notably the Aztecs, held.
This is especially important as people keep on spouting the belief that indigenous people were ‘backwards’ who were living in the ‘stone age’ and had little to no knowledge before European invaders arrived. This could not be further from the truth.
It should also be noted that this post will be updated in future dates. And each link to the different information regarding each topic will have its sources listed at the bottom of each separate post:
READ BOOKS WRITTEN BY AND SUPPORT MEXICAN, INDIGENOUS MEXICAN, MEXICAN AMERICAN AND CHICANO AUTHORS:
Check out the people I follow on my goodreads account. All the people I follow are authors of ethnic Mexican descent, this also includes indigenous authors and those in the LGBT community! Currently there is 110 authors on the list with more being added!
