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. 606 $aIndians of Mexico$xAntiquities 606 $aIndians of Central America$xAntiquities 606 $aIndians of Mexico$xPolitics and government 606 $aIndians of Central America$xPolitics and government 606 $aAuthority$xPolitical aspects$xMexico$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aAuthority$xPolitical aspects$xCentral America$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSocial archaeology$zMexico 606 $aSocial archaeology$zCentral America 606 $aEthnoarchaeology$zMexico 606 $aEthnoarchaeology$zCentral America 610 $aAnthropology 610 $aMesoamerica 610 $aMesoamerican chronology 610 $aPolity 610 $aPurépecha 610 $aTutelary deity 610 $aViejo River (Puerto Rico) 615 0$aIndians of Mexico$xAntiquities. 615 0$aIndians of Central America$xAntiquities. 615 0$aIndians of Mexico$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aIndians of Central America$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aAuthority$xPolitical aspects$xMexico$xHistory 615 0$aAuthority$xPolitical aspects$xCentral America$xHistory 615 0$aSocial archaeology 615 0$aSocial archaeology 615 0$aEthnoarchaeology 615 0$aEthnoarchaeology 700 $aKurnick$b Sarah$4auth$0992267 702 $aKurnick$b Sarah 702 $aBaron$b Joanne 801 0$beng 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910136399403321 996 $aPolitical strategies in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica$93384338 997 $aUNINA
