Reflections on the archaeopolitical: pursuing the universal within a unity of opposites / Simon Martin -- List of contributors -- Index.New data from a variety of well-known scholars in Mesoamerican archaeology reveal the creation, perpetuation, and contestation of politically authoritative relationships between rulers and subjects and between nobles and commoners. The contributions span the geographic breadth and temporal extent of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica—from Preclassic Oaxaca to the Classic Petén region of Guatemala to the Postclassic Michoacán—and the contributors weave together archaeological, epigraphic, and ethnohistoric data. Grappling with the questions of how those exercising authority convince others to follow and why individuals often choose to recognize and comply with authority, Political Strategies in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica discusses why the study of political authority is both timely and significant, reviews how scholars have historically understood the operation of political authority, and proposes a new analytical framework to understand how rulers rule.Indians of MexicoAntiquitiesIndians of Central AmericaAntiquitiesIndians of MexicoPolitics and governmentIndians of Central AmericaPolitics and governmentAuthorityPolitical aspectsMexicoHistoryTo 1500AuthorityPolitical aspectsCentral AmericaHistoryTo 1500Social archaeologyMexicoSocial archaeologyCentral AmericaEthnoarchaeologyMexicoEthnoarchaeologyCentral AmericaAnthropologyMesoamericaMesoamerican chronologyPolityPurépechaTutelary deityViejo River (Puerto Rico)Indians of MexicoAntiquities.Indians of Central AmericaAntiquities.Indians of MexicoPolitics and government.Indians of Central AmericaPolitics and government.AuthorityPolitical aspectsMexicoHistoryAuthorityPolitical aspectsCentral AmericaHistorySocial archaeologySocial archaeologyEthnoarchaeologyEthnoarchaeologyKurnick Sarahauth992267Kurnick SarahBaron JoanneengUkMaJRU9910136399403321Political strategies in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica3384338UNINA
