The Oxford Handbook of the Aztecs

The Oxford Handbook of the Aztecs, the first of its kind, provides a current overview of recent research on the Aztec empire, the best documented prehispanic society in the Americas. Chapters span the establishment of Aztec city-states to the encounter with the Spanish empire and the Colonial period that shaped the modern world. The Handbook concludes with a discussion of the Aztec presence in contemporary society. Articles in the Handbook examine new research trends and methodologies and current debates.
