Description

"This book is a historical and archeological examination of the Isthmus Zapotec state, which was established at Tehuantepec in late prehispanic times through a campaign of conquest and colonization, and the responses that its descendant populations made to the complex political, economic, and cultural changes introduced by Spanish colonialism. Using complementary archival and archeological sources, this book details the transformation of Isthmus Zapotec society under colonialism and the enduring structures through which its members redefined their political autonomy."--Jacket.
