Dav�d Carrasco is Professor of the History of
Religions and Director of the Raphael and Fletcher Lee Moses
Mesoamerican Archive at Princeton University
"Significant archaeological excavations, linguistic
breakthroughs...and advances in the study of the postcolonial and
modern periods have generated a great deal of new knowledge in
recent years, and it is the purpose of this multidisciplinary work
to organize and interpret that knowledge. The editorial decision
'to emphasize the long history of Mesoamerica' is apparent
throughout. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Mesoamerican Cultures...is
highly recommended for all academic and large public libraries.
Other libraries serving readers with a strong interest in these
cultures may also want to consider it."--Booklist starred
review
"Carrasco...and a stellar editorial board have produced this
extensive three-volume work, which employs 300 international
authors...Each article is signed and the up-to-date annotated
references testify to use of the latest scholarship...This superb
work should grace collections in art, archaeology, religious
studies, anthropology, Native American studies, and Latin American
history."--Library Journal
"This will be the definative reference work on the subject for the
foreseeable future."--American Reference Book Annual 2002
