Summary note

The Oxford Handbook of the Aztecs provides a current overview of recent research on the Aztec empire, the best documented prehispanic society in the Americas. Chapters span from the establishment of Aztec city-states to the encounter with the Spanish empire and the Colonial period that shaped the modern world. The Handbook articles are divided into the following seven parts: Archaeology of the Aztecs; Historical Change; Landscapes and Places; Economic and Social Relations in the Aztec Empire; Aztec Provinces, Friends, and Foes; Ritual, Belief, and Religion; and Aztecs after the Conquest.
