Bringing to bear her formidable knowledge of the cultures of Renaissance Europe and sixteenth-century Mexico, M?nica Dom?nguez Torres here investigates the significance of war imagery in post-Conquest Mexico. She shows how the ?«conquest?» in fact involved dynamic exchanges between cultures, and that certain interconnections between martial, social and religious elements resonated with similar intensity among Mesoamericans and Europeans, indeed creating cultural bridges between these diverse communities.
