Reviews

"This is a work of very great importance, and its combination of cutting-edge research and readable style will likely make it a classic. Terraciano attempts to do for the Mixtecs what James Lockhart has accomplished for the Nahuas of central Mexico: to provide an 'inside view' of the colonial Indian culture using contemporary documents written by Indians in their own language." - John K. Chance, Arizona State University "This is an extraordinary work... Kevin Terraciano is extremely well read in the studies of Mexican indigenous cultures and has a masterly knowledge of the Mixtecs." - History "The Mixtecs of Colonial Oaxaca is a book for scholars, but all readers will be informed and encouraged to learn more about the ancient and important cultures still found among native peoples of Mexico." - History "This groundbreaking study will be an essential acquisition for any library specializing in colonial Mexico." - CHOICE "This is the sort of work that requres updating and fine-tuning, not replacement. Future editions should add even more luster to a book that is sure to become a classic." - Canadian Journal of History
