Free Book of the Week: Ancient MesoAmerica

Xica Nation has posted links to over two dozen codices and religious texts of the Aztec, Mixtec, and Maya. Free access to traditional and ancient texts is one of the awesome things the internet has been able to provide the last couple decades! As Xica Nation puts it, "What was taken from our communities through war and violence is now available online for our generation."

If you are interested in learning more about the arts of Mesoamerican cultures, the Metropolitan of Art's Mexico: Splendors of Thirty Centuries is available to read free online. Also, Secrets in Stone: Yokes, Hachas and Palmas from Southern Mesoamerica will enlighten you on the use and decoration of stone objects from various cultures.
