"The volume provides new data, analysis, and ideas that will be a welcome addition to the literature. There is currently nothing comparable out there." -Robert M. Rosenswig, associate professor of anthropology, University at Albany-SUNY "This volume finally brings the discussion of identity within the context of 21st century anthropology with the support of hard evidence resulting from decades of sound scientific research. As such, this book will be a solid starting point for all readers interested in the art, architecture and ethnohistory of the people of southern Mesoamerica." -Francisco Estrada-Belli, Tulane University
