Reviews
The authors are coming at Flower World concepts from different directions and perspectives, and these different ideas and perspectives speak together in a way that helps further the conversation. This volume is not about concluding ideas but about continuing the conversation. I was impressed by the multitude of strong voices--both past and present--representing elements of the Flower World. This volume will be of lasting importance in the cross-cultural study of Flower Worlds. --John G. Douglass, co-editor of The Global Spanish Empire: Five Hundred Years of Place Making and Pluralism The editors have succeeded in assembling a diverse lineup of scholars who address the underlying Flower Worlds of Mesoamerica and the American Southwest from the perspectives of ethnography, ethnohistory, archaeology, literature, and art history. This volume is a valuable contribution that breaks the false boundaries between those regions and will drive home the need for more study of the arts in precolonial contexts. --Christopher S. Beekman, co-editor of Shaft Tombs and Figures in West Mexican Society: A Reassessment
