The Carochi grammar is a work of transcendent importance. The translation and editing by Lockhart are a significant contribution."--The Americas
Autorenporträt
James Lockhart is Professor Emeritus of History at UCLA. Many would regard him as the leading historian writing today on Colonial Latin America, having pioneered the detailed use of indigenous-language sources (notably Nahuatl) to carry out this work. His books include Nahuas and Spaniards: Post Conquest Central Mexican History and Philology (Stanford University Press, 1991), The Nahuas After the Conquest: A Social and Cultural History of the Indians of Central Mexico, Sixteenth Through Eighteenth Centuries (Stanford University Press, 1992), and Of Things of the Indies: Essays Old and New in Early Latin American History (Stanford University Press, 2000). The second title mentioned above won the Beveridge Prize, the Bolton Prize, the Cline Prize, and the Wheeler-Voegelin Prize.
