Reviews
"This book catapults the fields of archaeology, anthropology, and history into the twenty-first century. The authors bring a sophisticated and nuanced approach to early colonial Spanish writings. They apply their comprehensive knowledge of archival records-gleaned over decades of research-to this iconic and heavily cited account of sixteenth-century Yucatec Maya peoples. This book is a singular work that will be the definitive edition to read and cite for the next fifty years."-Patricia McAnany, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "A touchstone of Maya research with unquestionable importance, this book will have a resounding impact on the field for years to come."-John F. Schwaller, University of Albany
