Description

Book Synopsis
Through years of fieldwork in Oaxaca, Mexico, art historian and archaeologist Alessia Frassani formulated a compelling question: How did Mesoamerican society maintain its distinctive cultural heritage? In Building Yanhuitlan, she focuses on an imposing structure - a sixteenth-century Dominican monastery complex in the village of Yanhuitlan.

Trade Review
Solidly researched and expertly written, Building Yanhuitlan covers the dramatic confrontation of Spanish and native Mixtec culture and the resulting synthesis of these two powerful traditions. The quantity and quality of historical resources employed here are unprecedented for the Mixteca, Oaxaca, or any other area of central New Spain or Mexico."" - Ronald Spores, coauthor of The Mixtecs of Oaxaca: Ancient Times to the Present
