Summary: Review by K. A. Dixon, from Choice, 1995
Comment: "This important collection of 15 papers originated as a symposium on the "Mexica Puebla concept," a distinctive "stylistic/iconographic tradition" in the late prehistoric period of Central Mexico (mainly post-CE 1200). The term refers to a complex of traits that seems to have centered in the states of Puebla and western Oaxaca and spread widely, even as far as Costa Rica; the famous Aztec style in the Valley of Mexico was a related variation. Most of the papers analyze the best-known aspects of the tradition: distinctive painted iconography on highly decorated polychrome pottery, screen-fold books (codices), and wall murals. Emphasis is on the results of recent fieldwork that updates understanding of the Mixteca-Puebla manifestations in different local regions, allowing further interpretations of pre-Hispanic culture history and culture processes....

....An important addition for Mesoamerican collections, of lasting value."
