Description: Companion to Mexican Studies, Paperback by Standish, Peter, ISBN 1855662140, ISBN-13 9781855662148, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This Companion volume traces the evolution of the major creative aspects of Mexican culture from pre-Columbian times to the present. Dealing in turn with the cultures of Mesoamerica, the colonial period, the onset of independence and the modern era, the author explores Aztec arts, the role of the performing arts in the process of evangelisation, manifestations of cultural dependence, of the search for national identity, and the struggle for modernity, drawing examples from such diverse activities as architecture, painting, music, dance, literature, film and media. There is also a brief account of the distinctive characteristics of Mexican Spanish.

Peter Standish is Professor of Spanish at one of the divisions of the University of North Carolina system.
