Abstract:

Tradition and Innovation in Mesoamerican Cultural History contains essays 
by leading authorities in their fields and rising scholars, covering important 
areas in a wide range of disciplines. This book is the result of a highly 
successful conference on Mesoamerica held at California State University, 
Los Angeles in May 2009, organized as a homage to the distinguished 
Mesoamerican scholar Tatiana Proskouriakoff (1909-1985) and as a 
commemoration of the first centenary of her birth. This volume contains 
papers ranging from linguistics, archeology, and ethnohistory, to art history 
and literary studies, representing cutting-edge contributions to all of these 
disciplines. While several papers relate to matters related to the Mayan 
cultural area, other contributors also provide recent research on other major 
Mesoamerican cultures such as the Nahuatl and Zapotec, thus 
encompassing all of the major geographic areas that constitute the cultural 
hub of Mesoamerica.

The volume is divided into four main sections: Tatiana A. Proskouriakoff and 
Mesoamerican Studies, Oaxaca and the Colonial Zapotec, Maya Writing, 
Ideology, and Funerary Rituals, and From the Mesoamerican Ballgame to 
Modern Representations of the Aztecs in Chicano Art and Literature. 

Octavio Armand, Roberto Cantú, Jessica Joyce Christie, Michela Craveri, 
Michael Galant Ricardo García, Ignacio López-Calvo, Stephanie Lozano, 
Pamela Munro, Kevin Terraciano, Rogelio Valencia Rivera, and Tyson White 
have all provided original work that is comprehensive and interdisciplinary. 
The editors, Roberto Cantú, Professor of English and Chicano Studies, and 
Aaron Sonnenschein, Assistant Professor of English, both at California State 
University, Los Angeles, have provided a carefully edited book that will be an 
important source of information, interest, and enjoyment for our readers.
