Alright, time for another /his/ you sassy lil' memester faggots. Watcha been readin' lately?
>>25200910Still on Stripping Of The Altars, god that book is so fucking long. Makes me want wave a Union jack in Eamon Duffy's face at this point. They need to make an abridged version honestly.
>Diaz points out that among the company is an astrologer named Bortello who often casts lots to determine the outcome of things >Bortello is eventually killed in the streets of Tenochtitlan during a battle with the natives>>>Diaz retells how when they dug through Bortello's belongings they found a bunch of lot lines trying to determine whether Bortello or his horse would either survive or be killing in the coming battle >Diaz goes on to say that they also found among his belongings "what appeared to be a very accurate phallus made of leather that was stuffed with flockGuy basically said "ewww, he read signs AND he had a fucking DILDO on him!! Fucking DEGENERATE STAR-READER, LMAO"
>>25200910I am however developing a keen interest in cultural history, however. Hoping someone can shoot some recs my way to fill up my e reader.
>>25200923Don't forget the bit where they shot a cannon and made a male horse get a boner just convince the dumbass natives that both the cannon and horse were sentient creatures and were mad at them for disobeying Cortes and fighting with the Spaniards
>>25200929>cultural historySuch as?
Any really good history stuff about mysterious archeological places? Something with a genuinely spooky vibe to it?
>>25200934Stuff in the vein of Burckhardt, Huizinga, Darnton but lesser known gems or modern scholarship. I would prefer that it also not contain a whole lot of racial/sexual grievances in it too because I find that sort of thing offputting.
>>25200947Not so spooky but this book is excellent.
>>25200959Is this schizo tier?
>>25200910There was a thread a while ago where an anon mentioned a book on the congo war (2nd maybe?) and I didn't write down the name. Does anyone remember?

>>25201412Why are ESLs almost always exclusively looney tunes?
>>25201424>>25201426>>25201412Here, look the built of such Semitic specimen of arab adorer, it isn't the same Diaz but is related.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armando_DiazHow come there were Hellenic/Roman traditions but once the ottofeces empire come with their byzantinum first wave of arab adoration everything become crap?also check this:Around 1750 spain bourbeaners killed south Italians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castel_del_Monte,_ApuliaShit was already rough on the Emirate of south Italy, just changing Arabian hands... Interesting is that the inconsistency of the transition to adore the Arab god Jesus, most Italy had their own traditions there.1800 the bourbeaner with the ottofecal empire set up napoleon to kill the french, germans and russians...1850 north italy passed from france to "german" a non existent entity.AB Bofors (Sweden) and Alfred Nobel sold cannon to Spic Diaz for WWI and India, funded by dutch-india-spic company of more influx of brown shit colored people.Alfred Nobel went to a trip shitaly to celebrate the new wave of browns and arabs, they killed him because he wasn't brown, he died in south shitaly after granting the bourbeaner spic family the total genocide of the non semite of south shitaly.Spic diaz killed reaming Italians, the sweedish during WWI financed by spain and jewnited states.WWII come, destroyed Italy once again.How come there isn't an open hatred with spics in italy? If Italians weren't a non existent arabian brown entity they would be making plans to nuke spain, not to mention the full genocide of italians in america done by the spics...How come the british don't have this hate for spics? the french is the only one that used to...because spics with dutch-india company took the anglo-saxons out of uk alomost 300 years ago and made all this possible, all the history I told...People should start rounding up anyone with the surname Diaz, Moore to be honest, nuke spain, anyone make this...Imagine having a name like Diaz and there isn't anyone targeting you to be killed from the amount of damage you did, if Italians existed they would be trying to kill spics but they don't exist, same as "germans" germans would be trying to genoicide spain as the french would also...FUCK SPAIN.
>>25201451Also a case scenario:Would you rather die and be found hanging dressed a twisted sister cross dresser saying you were jerking off s self-asphyxiation with a giant black cock in your asshole or be reborn a christian?Imagine if you were reborn a christian, it's better to be a defamed dead person than to be a spic adoring an arab, nothing could be more embarrassing than being spanish and/or christian...

They've just introduced Spain's wool guild, the Mesta, and ascribe Spain's failure to capitalise on its empire or resources to the staticness that the guild promoted and the groupthink of the spanish rulers.On another note, is there anything I should do to better embed the ideas? Summaries? Rereading? Should I just trust my brain to recall parts when I read my next history book, thus building that critical schema of history knowledge?I'm not studying for a test I'm just looking to have more general history knowledge.

I like the way she writes, although the content is a bit wacky. Massive coping on why the 1844 prediction was wrong.

Mesoamerican history nerd here, as usual I'll shill "When Montezuma Met Cortes", which will be especially important for the OP >>25200910 and >>25200923 and >>25200932 to read given they're reading Diaz's "True History"It's a fascinating historiography and comparison of different accounts of the Cortes expedition/the fall of the Aztec, examining what the biases of each account is and how different tellings contradict one another, and how they have been retold and distorted over time and leveraged for different ideological/national interestsPlus, it gets into a lot of the personal as well as political background of both various Spanish and Aztec historical figures: It's one of the better books I've seen that tackle the political dynamics and motives of other Mesoamerican kings and officials like like Xicomecoatl, Ixtlilxochitl II, Xicotencatl II, etc, which is important as very few sources do this despite the fact their actions and motives played as big a part of how events played out as that of the (more commonly covered) Spanish officials. This is something I get into myself (including some observations even restall doesn't get into, tho moreso in even longer posts not linked here that me/friends have posted on other sites) here: pastebin.com/h18M28BR and arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/640670498/#640679139 and desuarchive.org/his/thread/16781148/#16781964 and desuarchive.org/int/thread/220614413/#220624574 and desuarchive.org/k/thread/64935126/#64961571 and desuarchive.org/k/thread/64434397/#64469714 + the other posts I link to within that /k/ post and the two posts of mine directly preceding that oneI don't agree with absolutely every conclusion Restall makes but it and his prior work "7 Myths of the Spanish Conquest", are pretty much mandatory reading for a decent understanding of the topic just to get an idea of how the different primary sources conflict with each other and skew detailsAlso pic related is WIP reading chart me and some friends are working on. I'll probably end up removing Broken Spears from the Conquest section for Collision of Worlds and/or maybe add a few books on the conquests of West Mexico and the Maya regions since currently this is very Central Mexico/Aztec focused, when in reality there were centuries of campaigns and expeditions against Mesoamerican states in other areas: The last Maya kingdoms didn't fall to 1697If people want more suggestions let me know
>>25202931>0 mexican writersabsolute shit tier usa grad school slop,typical of chicanosStart with Leon Portilla
>>25203012Anon, you need your vision check, I have Portilla's "Aztec Thought and Culture" in the Aztec sectionThat being said Nahuatl linguists tend to be pretty critical of his interpretations of Nahua theology, and in general most Mesoamericanists agree that his ideas around Ometeotl are incorrect.
>>25202931Based resident Aztec schizo
asg mongobögen
>>25203080What makes me a schizo rather then merely an autist?
>>25203018My bad. Didn't read the super small green letters.Portilla is a pioneer, and a main representative of mexica culture. I agree his interpretation may not be the most 'methodologically' correct, but he engaged the popular public with mesoamerican philosophy and was heavily involved in the revalorization of nahua culture as a whole, and the possibility of its serious study. Also, Authors like Eduardo Matos Moctezuma where involved in the interpretation of archeological sites such as Museo Templo Mayor.I dislike the overly academic circlejerking of anglo view that is detached of indigenous and mexican reality today.There are tons of archeologists and researchers from mexican-spanish descent that live closer to the matter at hand and it seems retarded to me that the biggest books I see in your pic are academics from anglo descent that live in europe or US and do mostly document based "research".
Started reading this. Not even 20 pages into the introduction and they author is talking about his jewish wife and the holocaust, so I know it’s going to be gay as fuck. It’s from 2006, so I know large parts are going to be a waste of time and outdated because archeogenetics have significantly advanced so we have a much better idea of what happened in times with scarce records (like the Anglo-Saxon migration). I’ll still suffer through because I’m a completionist and maybe it’ll have some interesting info here and there. I got it for dirt cheap at a thrift store anyway.
>>25202038Same anon, I’m at the last 200 pages and she points out how hell is a bad idea and it seems fitting for Satan ti have created hell
>>25200910Not reading it right now but I found it and it seems interesting.
>>25200910I couldn't find the history thread at first but maybe someone could help with commodity histories written by economists or anthropologists here? I already have Sweetness & Power by Sidney Mintz, what else is there?
>>25204305Gotta have the one on the most important commodity ever.
>>25200929Burckhardt's History of Greek Culture is fine.Birley's Hadrian, the Restless Emperor, is all about Hadrian but it has to sketch in around so much blank space that it's practically a cultural snapshot.I have always had an odd fascination for Khotan because of CK2 and that one muslim war poem when they conquered and ruined it ("We went out among their cities/We tore down the idol temples/We shat on the Buddha's head!"). https://archive.org/details/bailey-1982-sakas-iranian-khotan was a fun read, wish there was more. Definitely not a perfect cultural history, though.Cremony's life among the apaches made me sad. It's a eulogy, for two ways of life - the archetypal indian, and the archetypal cowboy. Cremony himself was a phrenologist who died of tuberculosis as a journalist in sanfrancisco I believe. Better still, its perhaps ninety percent foulest lies which is appropriate for a journalist. Funny though.
>>25204311I already have that, actually. anything else you can throw at me?
>>25204354I plan on getting the Burckhardt sooner or later, the second one is too expensive, but thanks for the third one, didn't know about that one.
>>25204354And on the off chance you like Khotan as I do, most other books are just archaeological accounts. Nothing great. Learn to enjoy journal articles or learn Chinese.
>>25204360I have a physical copy of the second from amazon, hardcover. Cost me 40 bucks, second hand from manatee county library usa. There's a new paperback on amazon atm for 33.
>>25204354Didn't see you had four there, I meant the fourth. I might pirate the third.
>>25204117I agree that Portilla played an important role in spearheading and popularizing viewing Nahua thought as an intellectual tradition that's worth studying in terms of having it's own developed theology and worldview, but ultimately my concern when compiling sources is to get what's most accurate and informative, and that can be hard to do with Portilla's work when a fair bit of his ideas are now outdated or are contentious.But as I said and you now see, I do have some of his work in the chart and I don't expect to remove it, at worst I'll just include a note about some of the issues people have with his and Maffie's work.I'm gonna be honest, I pay zero attention to if the authors are anglo or mexican or not. I'm sure there are differences in their approaches and how they frame and explore their work and proposals, but I've never sought out or examined them from the perspective of "This person is from this country". The fact that the sources lean towards anglo authors is probably just because I'm one of the few people who is really into Mesoamerican academic studies who can't read Spanish so almost all of my suggestions are english sources.
>>25200910Is the Penguin History Of The Church any good?
