Críticas:

"This is a first-rate study which merits attention from anyone interested in how colonialism shapes, and is shaped by, indigenous peoples under its rule." -- H-Net Reviews "[This] important contribution to the study of pre-Columbian and colonial Mexico advances our understanding of the remarkable historical fluidity and resilience of Isthmus Zapotec culture and identity." -- The Americas "This book is rewarding in a number of ways. Zeitlin's careful and subtle historical reconstructions avoid undue speculation. The elegant writing style invites careful attention. Theoretical digressions and comparative comments are adroitly woven within the text so as not to disrupt the narrative." -- Colonial Latin American Historical Review "Cultural Politics in Colonial Tehuantepec represents a welcome addition to the regional ethnohistories that constitute an important genre in the history of early Mexico... The book is striking in detailing each historical period through as many types of sources as possible-archaeological remains, pictorial and alphabetic texts, linguistic data, and oral traditions-rather than, for example, using only archaeological data to describe the pre-Hispanic period, as one might expect. Zeitlin moves seamlessly among various disciplinary approaches, theoretical orientations, and source materials, with apparent ease and considerable elegance." -- Hispanic American Historical Review "...an insightful and deeply researched work." -- Itinerario

Reseña del editor:

This book is a historical and archaeological examination of the prehispanic Isthmus Zapotec state, and the responses that its descendant populations made to the complex political, economic, and cultural changes introduced by Spanish colonialism.
