Attributes of rank carried profound symbolic meaning, encoding subtle messages about political and social status, ethnic and gender identity, regional origin, individual and community history, and claims to privilege. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Olko engages with and builds upon extensive worldwide scholarship and skillfully illuminates this complex topic, creating a vital contribution to the fields of pre-Columbian and colonial Mexican studies. It is the first book to integrate pre- and post-contact perspectives, uniting concepts and epochs usually studied separately. A wealth of illustrations accompanies the contextual analysis and provides essential depth to this critical work. \u003ci\u003eInsignia of Rank in the Nahua World \u003c\/i\u003esubstantially expands and elaborates on the themes of Olko's \u003ci\u003eTurquoise Diadems and Staffs of Office\u003c\/i\u003e, originally published in Poland and never released in North America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Justyna Olko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1607322404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607322405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Colorado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.40w x 1.20d","brand":"Justyna Olko","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088636260607,"sku":"9781607322405","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bc729b0-95bc-4ecf-bc71-0d992cc0d032.jpg?v=1769105846","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/insignia-of-rank-in-the-justyna-olko-9781607322405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
