Press, 2016) "Annals of Native America brings alive, in ways both exacting and exhilarating, the social and linguistic worlds inhabited by the authors of Nahuatl-language yearly accounts in colonial Mexico. By following their trajectory from their inception as documents in Roman script to their manifold transformations in a 'golden age' of native historical writing, Townsend provides a fresh and compelling perspective on the most vibrant set of historical narratives by indigenous scholars in the colonial Americas." ---Historian David Tazarez [http://The%20Roman%20Street:%20Urban%20https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1107105706/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1107105706&linkCode=as2&tag=dailyh0c-20&linkId=8d51cd9c416108c9b8c3b6cc21127676 The Roman Street: Urban Life and Society in Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Rome] by Jeremy Hartnett(Cambridge Univ.
