The Mixtecs of colonial Oaxaca : Ñudzahui history, sixteenth through eighteenth centuries
"This book is a social and cultural history of the Mixtec Indians of southern Mexico from 1540 to 1750. These people were among the most populous cultural and language groups of Mesoamerica at the time of the Spanish conquest. Based on extraordinary Mixtec-language documents, pictorial writings, and Spanish language sources, the author examines many interrelated topics - writing, language, sociopolitical organization, local government, social and gender relations, land tenure, trade, rebellion, religion, ethnicity, and historical memory."--Jacket
