This article presents a translation and analysis of the only extant formal confession of human sacrifice written in an Indigenous language in the colonial Americas. An analysis of this document, written in Northern Zapotec by the town officials of Yalalag in 1704, provides numerous insights about how a community deployed traditional rhetoric to seek mercy from their civil magistrate, and to provide a justification for committing acts of idolatry and child sacrifice. Rather than aligning with the canonical middle ground (nepantla), often used as a yardstick, this confession eloquently and incisively places Northern Zapotec society in tentative terrain point in terms of their knowledge of Christianity, and depicts Christianization as a long-term process, which confessants boldly tied to latent forms of negotiation.

This article takes the community of San Miguel Achiutla, located in the Mixtec highlands of Oaxaca, as a case study through which to examine the complex involvements of Indigenous pueblos de indios of Mexico in the early modern dynamics of globalization. Drawing from both ethnohistorical and archaeological evidence, this analysis shows not only how residents of this community were affected by forces of globalization as they appropriated new goods and ideas from across the Pacific and Atlantic, but also how they played an active economic role in driving colonial expansion during the sixteenth century, particularly through the silk trade. In tracing these connections, we see how locally focused microhistories can shed light on aspects of early modern globalization that we might not otherwise attend to.
本文以位于瓦哈卡州Mixtec高地的San Miguel Achiutla社区为例,考察墨西哥土著印第安人在早期现代全球化动态中的复杂参与。从民族历史和考古证据来看,这一分析不仅显示了这个社区的居民在从太平洋和大西洋彼岸引进新商品和新思想时如何受到全球化力量的影响,还显示了他们如何在推动16世纪的殖民扩张中发挥积极的经济作用,特别是通过丝绸贸易。在追踪这些联系的过程中,我们看到了以地方为中心的微观历史如何揭示早期现代全球化的各个方面,否则我们可能不会关注这些方面。

There are many sources that allowed scholars to study the nature and functions of polygamous marriages of the Nahua nobility. Very few studies, however, focus on the marital relations of the Nahua commoners. This article presents exploratory research into various kinds of marriages of the macehualtin—polygamy, sororate, and levirate. Based on the available material (early censuses, inquisitorial records, sixteenth-century accounts) it discusses the functions that these types of unions played in Nahua society. Moreover, it reflects on the effects that the Christianization and prohibition of such marriages had on Nahua society. The Nahuas could either reshape their communities, by adjusting to the new rules, or continue their precolonial practices in hiding. Either way, the imposed Christianization can be analyzed through the notion of the cultural trauma, which occurred when the Nahuas were forced to reshape their communities to adjust to the new rules.
