Entrevista a Iván Corona de "Tlaxcala la Conquistadora"

When Mexico became an independent nation-state, it crafted a narrative that distanced itself from Spain. The intellectuals of the new country decided to idealize the ancient era as a kind of blissful Arcadia, and they chose to tell this story through one of the most powerful peoples at the time of contact: the Mexica. The Mexica case fit the narrative they wanted to tell. Defeated by a Spanish-Indigenous alliance, the Mexica had a history of suffering adopted for the national narrative. But what would happen if we told the story from the perspective of the victorious Indigenous side? What Tlaxcala reveals are events diametrically opposed to the history of Mexico that we have been taught.
