Résumé
"In this essay, I propose to analyze the social effect that the canonical interpre- tation of the conquest of Mexico had on Mexican nationalism and its citizen’s identity. I will try to establish the foundation for an alternative memory, opposed to the national myth constructed by León-Portilla and his followers. Contrary to many national and foreign attempts that, to this day, privilege the proliferation of narratives that insist on the inferior natura of natives and their cultures as a way to cover up the violent nature of such a conquest, I propose to “rethink” it as new way of recreating those chaotic years, in order to understand the complexities of those societies in confrontation."
