About this ebook
The Second Edition of
Religions of Mesoamerica comes at a turning point in the study of the
Americas and the religious and cultural histories of the New World. To
that end, esteemed scholar Davíd Carrasco integrates past and current
research, developments, and excavations to vividly synthesize the
history of Mesoamerican cultures—their religious forms, ceremonial
centers, complex social structures, view of time and space, myths, and
rituals. Carrasco’s deep yet concise overview takes readers on an
absorbing journey where they experience the dynamics and complexities of
Aztec and Maya cultures, the Spanish conquest, and cultural
combinations of European and indigenous ideas and practices. He
skillfully demonstrates how the religious imagination was and continues
to be crucial to the survival and creativity of Mesoamerica and its
Chicano/a descendants.
