Mexico Before Cortez: Art, History, Legend by Ignacio Bernal is a concise, popular overview of pre-Hispanic Mexican civilizations, written by a prominent Mexican archaeologist and anthropologist. Originally published in Spanish as Tenochtitlán en una isla (1959), the English translation provides an accessible introduction to the cultures, history, art, and legends of Mexico before the Spanish conquest, covering periods from the Archaic to the Aztecs, and is considered a valuable introductory text.
