Abstract
This review by Andrea Martínez Baracs examines the book Native Wills from the Colonial Americas. Dead Giveaways, edited by Mark Christensen and Jonathan Truitt. The volume brings together studies analyzing Indigenous wills from the colonial period, written in languages such as Nahuatl, Quechua, Mixtec, and Maya. These documents shed light on Indigenous agency, the appropriation of European civil law, and the continuity of local cultural practices through the act of inheritance. Martínez Baracs highlights the interdisciplinary richness of the volume and its contribution to understanding the legal, social, and spiritual dynamics of Indigenous communities across the Americas from the 16th to 18th centuries Esta reseña, escrita por Andrea Martínez Baracs, analiza el libro Native Wills from the Colonial Americas.
