Review

"In this well-written and well-focused book, Catherine DiCesare proposes interesting alternative interpretations of pictorial documentation and at times offers support for some less-popular existing interpretations. She does a most commendable job of capturing the essence and complexity of the monthly drama of Ochpaniztli, and her careful and insightful analyses can be used as a model for understanding other such religious celebrations." --Journal of Anthropological Research

"DiCesare breaks ground in helping scholars understand new and profitable ways to tease valuable information from frequently conflicting sources. The use of both narrative and pictoral material strengthens the work significantly." --The Americas
