City of Sacrifice: Violence from the Aztec Empire to the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carrasco, David L., PUBLISHER: Beacon Press, At an excavation of ong>theong> Great Aztec Temple in Mexico ong>Cityong>, amid carvings of skulls ong>andong> a dismembered warrior goddess, David Carrasco stood before a container filled with ong>theong> decorated bones of infants ong>andong> children. It was ong>theong> site of a massive human sacrifice, ong>andong> for Carrasco ong>theong> center of fiercely provocative questions: If ritual violence against humans was a profound necessity for ong>theong> Aztecs in ong>theong>ir capital ong>cityong>, is it central to ong>theong> construction of social order ong>andong> ong>theong> authority of ong>cityong> states? Is civilization built on violence? In ong>Cityong> of Sacrifice, Carrasco chronicles ong>theong> fascinating story of Tenochtitlan, ong>theong> Aztec capital, investigating Aztec religious practices ong>andong> demonstrating that religious violence was integral to urbanization; ong>theong> ong>cityong> itself was a temple to ong>theong> gods. That Mexico ong>Cityong>, ong>theong> largest ong>cityong> on earth, was built on ong>theong> ruins of Tenochtitlan, is a point Carrasco poignantly considers in his comparison of urban life from antiquity to modernity. Majestic in scope, ong>Cityong> of Sacrifice illuminates not only ong>theong> rich history of a major Meso american ong>cityong> but also ong>theong> inseparability of two passionate human impulses: urbanization ong>andong> religious engagement. It has much to tell us about many familiar events in our own time, from suicide bombings in Tel Aviv to rape ong>andong> murder in ong>theong> Balkans.
