O knihe

This volume is part of a two volume set: ISBN 9781407319810 (Volume I); ISBN 9781407353647 (Volume II); ISBN 9781407359717 (Set of both volumes). This volume represents the first large-scale reconsideration of the Epiclassic and Early Postclassic periods in broader Mesoamerica in 20 years. In part, the focus is to examine the influence of the ruins of Classic period Teotihuacan in the political, social, and economic structures of societies at the transition to the Postclassic period. Teotihuacan was a locus of critical cultural innovations in Mesoamerica. These innovations included fusing a warrior cult with long-standing ideas surrounding what has been broadly termed 'Flower World', as well as profound changes to economic and political structures. Later Mesoamerican societies drew on these innovations in their own unique ways and this volume attempts to move the discussion of cultural changes beyond the traditional focus on the sites of Chichen Itza and Tula, to consider many other communities across Mesoamerica and beyond.
