This book offers a new account of human interaction and culture
change for Mesoamerica that connects the present to the past.
Social histories that assess the cultural upheavals between the
Spanish invasion of Mesoamerica and the ethnographic present
overlook the archaeological record, with its unique capacity to
link local practices to global processes. To fill this gap, the
authors weigh the material manifestations of the colonial and
postcolonial trajectory in light of local, regional, and global
historical processes that have unfolded over the last five hundred
years. Research on a suite of issues-economic history, production
of commodities, agrarian change, resistance, religious shifts, and
sociocultural identity-demonstrates that the often shocking
patterns observed today are historically contingent and culturally
mediated, and therefore explainable. This book belongs to a new
wave of scholarship that renders the past immediately relevant to
the present, which Alexander and Kepecs see as one of archaeology's
most crucial goals.
