The articles in this book conceptualize the ancient New World through new and varied approaches, from iconography to the history of anthropology. The many essays in this volume explore the vast vista of the Pre-Columbian world, including representations of history, memory, and knowledge in Andean visual imagery and Pre-Columbian narrative, the ideology of rain making, and Maya beliefs about animal transformations.

Editorial Reviews
Review
These 10 thought-provoking articles provide a broad, generalist approach to the interpretation of anthropological, historical, and art historical subjects and develop a unitary vision of the pre-Columbian past...A must read for students and scholars interested in the underlying similarities within and between pre-Columbian societies in the Americas. (J.B. Richardson III Choice )
