About This Item
Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, 2000. Softcover, [xvi], 269 pages. Very Good+ condition. Size 9"x6". "The first comprehensive description and analysis of gender and power relations in prehispanic Mesoamerica from the Formative Period Olmec world (ca. 1500-500 BC) through the Postclassic Maya and Aztec societies of the sixteenth century AD. Using approaches from contemporary gender theory, Rosemary Joyce explores how Mesoamericans created human images to represent idealized notions of what it meant to be male and female and to depict proper gender roles. She then juxtaposes these images with archaeological evidence from burials, house sites, and body ornaments, which reveals that real gender roles were more fluid and variable than the stereotyped images suggest." Includes b&w illustrations, notes, references, and index. Book has light exterior shelfwear, else Fine condition, clean and unmarked. Very Good+.
