Ambivalent Conquests(English, Hardcover, Clendinnen Inga) is written by Clendinnen Inga and published by Cambridge University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0521820316 (ISBN 10) and 9780521820318 (ISBN 13).

This is both a specific study of conversion in a corner of the Spanish Empire, and a work with implications for the understanding of European domination and native resistance throughout the colonial world. Dr Clendinnen explores the intensifying conflict between competing and increasingly divergent Spanish visions of Yucatan and its destructive outcomes. She seeks to penetrate the ways of thinking and feeling of the Mayan Indians in a detailed reconstruction of their assessment of the intruders.
