A Presentation by Dra. Lidi a E. Gómez García
Wednesday, February 27, 4-6 pm, 375 McKenzie Hall
Ethnohistorian Lidia E. Gómez García (Benemérita Universidad de Puebla, Mexico), will speak about colonial manuscript production (alphabetic and pictorial) by Nahuas, the ethnic group that included the Aztecs, during roughly three centuries, from 1540 to 1830. She will discuss how Nahua scholars have become engaged in the serious study of these fascinating indigenous-language manuscripts, thousands of which survive to this day.
