Lamentations of Nezahualcóyotl : Nahuatl poems / by Nezahualcóyotl,King of Texcoco,1402-1472.(CARDINAL)516258; Stavans, Ilan,translator.(CARDINAL)365637; Wetzka, Cuauhtémoc,illustrator.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 123-136).A king, a warrior, and a poet, Nezahualcóyotl was a revolutionary ahead of his time. Born in 1402, the ruler--whose name means 'hungry coyote' in the Uto-Aztecan language of Nahuatl--led the city-state of Texcoco through its age of enlightenment. His four-decade reign was among the most transformative and prosperous eras of the Aztec Empire. Today he is a hero in Mexico, seen as a mysterious, powerful, anti-colonial figure. Brimming with longing, this epic collection of songs and poems was composed by Nezahualcóyotl with members of his illustrious court. Six centuries later, in a powerful translation by Ilan Stavans and with new illustrations by Cuauhtémoc Wetzka, twenty-two poems bring to life a young warrior's journey from exile to historical legend. Anguished and unforgettable, Lamentations of Nezahualcóyotl will thrill readers of Latin American literature for years to come.

The prince & the coyote / by Bowles, David(David O.),author.(CARDINAL)603082; Mijangos, Amanda,1986-illustrator.(CARDINAL)849983;

"Fifteen-year old crown prince Acolmiztli wants nothing more than to see his city-state of Tetzcoco thrive. A singer, poet, and burgeoning philosophical mind, he has big plans about infrastructure projects and cultural initiatives that will bring honor to his family and help his people flourish. But the two sides of his family, the kingdoms of Mexico and Acolhuacan, have been at war his entire life - after his father risked the wrath of the Tepanec emperor to win his mother's love. When a power struggle leaves his father dead and his mother and siblings in exile, Acolmiztli must run for his life, seeking refuge in the wilderness. After a coyote helps him find his way in the wild, he takes on a new name - Nezahualcoyotl, or "fasting coyote" ("Neza" for short). Biding his time until he can form new alliances and reconnect with his family, Neza goes undercover, and falls in love with a commoner girl, Sekalli. Can Neza survive his plotting uncles' scheme to wipe out his line for good? Will the empire he dreams of in Tetzcoco ever come to life? And is he willing to risk the lives of those he loves in the process? This action-packed tale blends prose and poetry - including translations of surviving poems by Nezahualcoytl himself, translated from classical Nahuatl by the author. And the book is packed with queer rep - queer love stories, and a thoughtful of pre-Columbian understandings of gender that defy the contemporary Western gender binary."-- Provided by publisher.

Tlatoque : somos mexicas / by Guadarrama Collado, Sofía,1976-author.(CARDINAL)561416;

Includes bibliographical references.En 1429 el Principe Nezahualcóyotl, Izcóatl, y una decena de pueblos más se unen pata derrocar a Maxtla , el tirano usurpador que gobierna todo el valle del Anáhuac. Tras la caída de Azcapotzalco, las tropas aliadas regresan a sus ciudades de origen, en donde esperan a que Nezahualcóyotl sea reconocido y jurado com huei chichimécatl tecutli (gran gobernante chichimeca), pero eso jamás ocurre. Mientras Chalco y Huexotla se sublevan e inician una serie de invasiones, los mexicas le exigen la mitad de tlatocáyotl ( s̈eñorio )̈ al coyote hambriento, beneficio que no formaba parte del acuerdo inicial. Tras bambalinas se encuentra el astuto Tlacaélel, que mueve los hilos no para arrebatarle a su primo Nezahualcóyotl el imperio chichimeca que le heredaron sus ancestros, sino para crear uno nuevo: el huei mexica tlatocáyotl ( g̈ran señorío mexica )̈. Enigmático y controvertido, Tlacaélel se devela como el catalizador de la Triple Alianza, padre de la manipulación histórica como adoctrinamiento e instrumento de exaltación de la grandeza tenochca, inventor de su propio papado, Cihuacóatl, creador de la religión de la sangre y los sacrificios humanos, fundador del Estado mexica, in cemanáhuac tepehua ( c̈onquitador del mundo )̈ y consejero supremo de cuatro tlatoque. Tlacaélel, el poder detrás del poder.In 1429, Prince Nezahualcoyotl, Izcoatl, and a dozen peoples unite to overthrow Maxtla, the tyrannic usurper ruling over the Valley of Anahuac. After Azcapotzalco falls, the allied troops return to their cities, where they wait for Nezahualcoyotl to be acknowledged and sworn as huei chichimecatl tecutli (high Chichimeca ruler). But this never happens. While Chalco and Huexotla rise and incite a series of invasions, the Mexica demand half of the tlatocayotl (estate) from the hungry coyote, a profit that wasn't part of the original agreement. Backstage we have the astute Tlacaelel, not moving the strings to take the Chichimeca empire his cousin Nezahualcoyotl inherited from his ancestors, but to create a new one: the huei mexica tlatocayotl (great Mexica estate). Enigmatic and controversial, Tlacaelel is revealed as the catalyst for the Triple Alliance, father of historical manipulation as doctrine and a tool to praise the Tenochca greatness, inventor of his own papacy, Cihuacoatl, creator of a religion of blood and human sacrifice, founder of the Mexica estate, in cemanahuac tepehua (conqueror of the world), and supreme advisor to four tlatoque. Tlacaelel was the power behind the power.
