Quotes by Matthew Restall (?)

“It is about something much larger -the pernicious prevalence and insidious ubiquity of traditional narratives that justify invasion, conquest and inequality.”

“The parallel is inescapable: General Scott is Cortés, and General Santa Anna is Montezuma; the two acts of surrender in Mexico City echo, illuminate, and legitimize each other, representing resonant moments in the march of progress that is “American” history.”
― Matthew Restall, When Montezuma Met Cortés: The True Story of the Meeting that Changed History

“Do we prejudice our discussion and privilege traditional answers by styling the invaders as "explorers", th einvaded as "Indians", and their war as "the Conquest of Mexico" ?”
