    A collection of seven related essays on the Spanish Conquest of Mexico and the religion of the native American populations (Aztecs, Maya, and other groups in Mexico). This collection shows the same strengths and weaknesses as his fiction; on the one hand, the condemnation of European colonialism, on the other, the romanticism of primitivism and magico-religious thought. It was worth reading for the factual material, but I couldn't agree with much of his interpretation or viewpoint.
