xxi, 254 pages, 16 full-page color photographs, 78 b/w photographs, 2 figures, 2 maps. The long history of masks in Mesoamerica and their use to synthesize the spiritual and historical Mesoamerican world and to reveal its mythological traditions are the principal themes of this richly written and researched work. Examining mask usage from the time of the Olmec (1200 B.C.) to the post-Conquest use of masks among the Yaqui, and the Mayo and those masks being carved and used today, this volume uses the mask, .to reveal the inner visions of that variant of human culture which developed in Mesoamerica".
