Archaeology
Quetzalcoatl and the Irony of Empire
Myths and Prophecies in the Aztec Tradition, Revised Edition
by David Carrasco
Description
David Carrasco draws from the perspectives of the history of religions, anthropology, and urban ecology to explore the nature of the complex symbolic form of Quetzalcoatl in the organisation, legitimation, and subversion of a large segment of the Mexican urban tradition.
His new Preface addresses this tradition in the light of the Columbian quincentennial.
