Reviews
"""[A]n interesting volume with spatial breadth and temporal depth. There are central themes-- contradictions inherent in social inequality, and how they can be and were negotiated-- but there is no suppression of disagreement and discussion. . . . I found this collection to be stimulating and believe others will find it so as well."" --Journal of Anthropological Research ""This volume stands out both for its insistence on theoretical acuity and for its fluid discussion of archaeological data. It will attract audiences beyond the Mesoamerican and archaeological realms, such as scholars and students of the political history of ancient American societies, ethnohistory, art history, and cultural anthropology."" --Hispanic American Historical Review"
