 The War for Mexico's West: Indians and Spaniards in New Galicia, 1524-1550
by Ida Altman is the winner of the 2011 Alfred B. Thomas Book Award from the Southeastern Council of Latin American Studies.
The Alfred B. Thomas Award is awarded annually for the best book on a Latin American subject published by a SECOLAS member in the previous year.
The War for Mexico's West mines a dramatic, complex episode in the early history of New Spain that stands as an instructive counterpoint to the much more familiar, triumphalist narrative of Spanish daring, resilience, and victory embodied in the oft-told tale of the conquest of central Mexico.
