The conquest of these 'rich and strange lands,' as Hernn Corts called them, and their 'many different peoples' was brutal and prolonged. 'Strange Lands and Different Peoples' examines the myriad ramifications of Spanish intrusion, especially Maya resistance to it and the changes that took place in native life because of it.\n The studies assembled here, focusing on the first century of colonial rule [tel], discuss issues of conquest and resistance, settlement and colonization, labor and tribute, and Maya survival in the wake of Spanish invasion.
