Early Modern History: Society and Culture: Gender, Lifecycle, and Sacrifice in Aztec Culture

Reinvesting the Aztecs with a humanity frequently denied to them, and exploring their spectacular religious violence as a comprehensible element of life, this book integrates a fresh interpretation of gender with an innovative study of the everyday life of the Aztecs.
