Beautiful prose poetry and aphorisms. Meditations and wisdom, short snippets of conversations with elders. Loved it and will reread.

"The Aztecs would never recognize themselves in the picture of their world that exists in the books and movies we have made. They thought of themselves as humble people who had made the best of a bad situation and who had shown bravery and thus reaped its rewards. They believed that the universe had imploded four times previously, and they were living under the fifth sun..." From FIFTH SUN: A New History of the Aztecs by Camilla Townsend, 2019 by Oxford University Press. Early chapters in FIFTH SUN start way back - migration patterns to the Americas, relations between groups of people, and the various groups that lived and thrived in what is now the central regions of modern Mexico in the 14th - 16th century: the Nahua peoples (made up of many sub-polities), who speak the Nahuatl language. Townsend's historical writing blends set pieces of imagined, yet highly probable scenes, as well as documentary reiteration. Each chronological chapter opens with a storytelling scene - some of them based on artistic renderings, others on a document - but some are (well researched) speculation. I'll admit that this method doesn't always appeal to me - my warning bells often sound off when I see phrases like "She would have said ...", "He would have felt this way...". The truth is we *don't* know and never will... But at least there are some best guesses based on artifacts/archaeology, a few first-person manscripts, and other accounts witnessed by the Spanish colonizers in the 16th century. Later chapters in the book give concrete documentary evidence, as many pull from manuscripts written by Spanish-educated Indigenous people and Spanish colonizers who record history and culture in 16th century Tenochtitlan - But this statement still reveals who is / and isn't telling the history. Granular details about culture, belief system and worldview, timelines and acculturation, Córtes, the Nahuatl language, relationships between Indigenous and Black enslaved peoples - there's much more to learn here.
