A picture of life in the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, once the nerve centre of the Aztec tribute empire, this book explores the worlds of Aztec women, of priests and of warriors. The author attempts to explain the philosophy, rituals, and social structures that underpinned this remarkable empire.

Both a specific study of conversion in a corner of the Spanish Empire, and a work with implications for the understanding of European domination and native resistance throughout the colonial world. Dr Clendinnen explores the intensifying conflict between competing and increasingly divergent Spanish visions of Yucatan and its destructive outcomes.
