ECLIPSE SPEAKERS SERIES

Eclipses in Mexican History

Amílcar E. Challú, Chair and Associate Professor
BGSU Department of History

Through codices from the Mesoamerican civilizations, colonial-time chronicles, newspaper articles from the turn of the twentieth century and more recent testimonies, we explore how eclipses have been events rich in cultural and political meanings that embody the complex multicultural make-up of Mexico.
