The history of the Aztecs has been haunted by the spectre of human
sacrifice. As bloody priests and brutal warriors, the Aztecs have
peopled the pages of history, myth and fiction, their spectacular
violence dominating perceptions of their culture and casting a veil
over their unique way of life. Reinvesting the Aztecs with a
humanity frequently denied to them, and exploring their religious
violence as a comprehensible element of life and existence,
Caroline Dodds Pennock integrates a fresh interpretation of gender
with an innovative study of the everyday life of the Aztecs. This
was a culture of contradictions and complications, but in amongst
the grand ritual we can find the personal and private, the minutiae
of life which make the world of these extraordinary people
instantly familiar. Despite their violent bloodshed, the Aztecs
were a compassionate and expressive people who lived and worked in
cooperative gendered partnership.
