The past of the Chontal people of Oaxaca, Mexico, is one of the most obscure chapters in Mesoamerican history. Early colonial accounts of this indigenous group were derogatory, heavily influencing contemporary authors.
Recent archaeological, historical, and ethnographic investigations in the region are now correcting these ethnocentric biases and reveal a highly dynamic picture of interregional interactions before and after the Spanish conquest. This presentation by Dr. Daniel Zborover, who is currently a visiting scholar at the Center for US-Mexican Studies at UCSD, will also highlight the various collaborative efforts to incorporate the Chontal host communities within the ongoing research.
