Reviews
"[Carrasco] has significantly advanced our understanding of the complexities of Mesoamerican culture history, not least by demonstrating that there was a great deal more involved in religious belief than its purely iconic context." -- American Historical Review "The work of Carrasco, interesting and provocative, is conceived as a species of drama filled with literary signs." -- Revista Interamericana de Bibliografia, "This book, rich in ideas, constituting a novel approach...represents a stimulating and provocative contribution to Mesoamerican studies...Recommended to all serious students of the New World's most advanced indigenous civilization." -- Man, "This book, rich in ideas, constituting a novel approach...represents a stimulating and provocative contribution to Mesoamerican studies...Recommended to all serious students of the New World's most advanced indigenous civilization." - Man, "This book constitutes an interesting and challenging approach to the interpretation of Mesoamerican religion, urbanism, and archaeology." - Science, "[Carrasco] has significantly advanced our understanding of the complexities of Mesoamerican culture history, not least by demonstrating that there was a great deal more involved in religious belief than its purely iconic context." - American Historical Review "The work of Carrasco, interesting and provocative, is conceived as a species of drama filled with literary signs." - Revista Interamericana de Bibliografia, "This book constitutes an interesting and challenging approach to the interpretation of Mesoamerican religion, urbanism, and archaeology." -- Science, "[Carrasco] has significantly advanced our understanding of the complexities of Mesoamerican culture history, not least by demonstrating that there was a great deal more involved in religious belief than its purely iconic context." — American Historical Review     "The work of Carrasco, interesting and provocative, is conceived as a species of drama filled with literary signs." — Revista Interamericana de Bibliografia, "[Carrasco has significantly advanced our understanding of the complexities of Mesoamerican culture history, not least by demonstrating that there was a great deal more involved in religious belief than its purely iconic context." - American Historical Review "The work of Carrasco, interesting and provocative, is conceived as a species of drama filled with literary signs." - Revista Interamericana de Bibliografia, "[Carrasco] has significantly advanced our understanding of the complexities of Mesoamerican culture history, not least by demonstrating that there was a great deal more involved in religious belief than its purely iconic context." - American Hi

Synopsis
"Like J. Eric Thompson, Carrasco has applied an informed imagination to identify some of the ways that ideas could lie behind material form." - American Anthropologist "A must for both professional and serious non-professional students in Mesoamerica. Those who are interested in complex society and urbanism in general, as well as students of comparative religion, will find it stimulating. Most importantly, for anyone interested in the history of ideas, the book illuminates the tremendously powerful impact and role of a complex deity/mythico-historical figure in shaping one of the world's great pristine civilizations." - Queen's Quarterly
