Book Review

Religion in New Spain. Edited by Susan Schroeder and Stafford Poole. (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2007. ix + 358 pp. Illustrations, map, tables, index. $39.95.)

Religion in New Spain contains an introduction, sixteen articles divided into seven parts with each part preceded by its own mini-introduction, and an index. The anthology contains essays discussing the early colonial period to the late Bourbon era. The articles explore the complex nature of religiosity, how accommodation between Nahua and Christian beliefs were navigated, and how native resistance to Christianity as a form of collective solidarity compelled Spanish authorities to exert stronger control over regions of Oaxaca to quash the practice of idolatry in the post-conquest period in Mexico.
