"Beautifully written, deeply researched, and with an innovative focus, "Malintzin's Choices" will become a classic.

Synopsis

Malintzin was the indigenous woman who translated for Hernando Cortes in his dealings with the Aztec emperor Moctezuma in the days of 1519 to 1521. 'Malintzin', at least, was what the Indians called her. The Spanish called her dona Marina, and she has become known to posterity as La Malinche. As Malinche, she has long been regarded as a traitor to her people, a dangerously sexy, scheming woman who gave Cortes whatever he wanted out of her own self-interest. The life of the real woman, however, was much more complicated. She was sold into slavery as a child, and eventually given away to the Spanish as a concubine and cook. If she managed to make something more out of her life - and she did - it is difficult to say at what point she did wrong. In getting to know the trials and intricacies with which Malintzin's life was laced, we gain new respect for her steely courage, as well as for the bravery and quick thinking demonstrated by many other Native Americans in the earliest period of contact with Europeans.In this study of Malintzin's life, Camilla Townsend rejects all the previous myths and tries to restore dignity to the profoundly human men and women who lived and died in those days. Drawing on Spanish and Aztec language sources, she breathes new life into an old tale, and offers insights into the major issues of conquest and colonisation, including technology and violence, resistance and accommodation, gender and power.

I've been tracking down books about Malintzin/Malinalli/Malinche/Doña Marina (pick the name you prefer) for several years. Camilla Townsend's book is by far the most informative and well-researched one I've found. I can't recommend it too highly. If you buy only one book about this remarkable historical figure, this is the one to buy..

Excellent book, one I have been waiting for.

Good Stuff

please Salma Hayek make this boos a movie!!
