Review (PDF) Bonds Of Blood: Gender, Lifecycle, And Sacrifice In Aztec Culture (Early Modern History: Society And Culture)
The history of the Aztecs has been haunted by the spectre of human sacrifice. Reinvesting the Aztecs with a humanity frequently denied to them, and exploring their spectacular religious violence as a comprehensible element of life, this book integrates a fresh interpretation of gender with an innovative study of the everyday life of the Aztecs.

If you have any interest in Aztec culture and day to day life in those times, this is a must have book. Thorough research, extensive bibliography, and solid writing support an excellent description of day to day life, attitudes and belief systems within the Aztec world. This work takes the reader on a comprehensive voyage in time leading to a greater understanding of their actions and world view.Very readable and interesting. Dare I say about an academic book on a remote subject... A "page turner"!
An interesting read of its very specific subject.
