The Cambridge History of the Native Peoples of the Americas Hardcover - 2000

by Richard E. Adams (Editor); Murdo J. MacLeod (Editor)


From the publisher

The Cambridge History of the Native Peoples of the Americas, Volume II: Mesoamerica, gives a comprehensive and authoritative overview of all the important native civilizations of the Mesoamerican area, beginning with archaeological discussions of paleoindian, archaic and preclassic societies and continuing to the present. Fully illustrated and engagingly written, the book is divided into sections that discuss the native cultures of Mesoamerica before and after their first contact with the Europeans. The various chapters balance theoretical points of view as they trace the cultural history and evolutionary development of such groups as the Olmec, the Maya, the Aztec, the Zapotec, and the Tarascan.

First line

Mystified about the origins and cultural development of the strange people they called los indios, the sixteenth-century Spanish conquerors of Mesoamerica could do little more than speculate.
