Sterling Award Lecture: "Indigenous Memories of Iconoclasm and Violence in Colonial Mexico"

Indigenous writers and artists documented the destruction of sacred sites and objects that accompanied the Spanish invasion and evangelization of Mexico. This lecture examines the meanings that Nahuas (Aztecs) ascribed to ritual objects and sacred sites that were the targets of iconoclasm and shows how they linked the destruction of material culture with violence against indigenous bodies.
