This wonderfully rich volume challenges those who claim that political history is arid; narrow; or worse; irrelevant to our own concerns. Jensen's study explores popular political mobilization on the eve of American independence. It reconstructs the complex decisions that slowly; often painfully transformed a colonial rebellion into a genuine revolution. Jensen's well-paced narrative never loses sight of the ordinary men and women who confronted the most powerful empire in the world. --T.H. Breen; William Smith Mason Professor of American History; Northwestern University

I agreeBy PetitgarsA wonderful book; thoroughly researched and well documented.Aztec gods were a great mix of varied aspects; iterations and manifestations but none of this has been detailed and as well documented as this study on Tezcatlipoca. It is a joy to read; and re read.The research involved is staggering.Sr Olivier has made a major contribution to the study of Mesoamerican religious life with this work.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
