{"product_id":"seeking-conflict-in-mesoamerica-shawn-g-morton-9781607328865","title":"Seeking Conflict in Mesoamerica: Operational, Cognitive, and Experiential Approaches","description":"\u003ci\u003eSeeking Conflict in Mesoamerica\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the conflicts of the ancient Maya, providing a holistic history of Maya hostilities and comparing them with those of neighboring Mesoamerican villages and towns. Contributors to the volume explore the varied stories of past Maya conflicts through artifacts, architecture, texts, and images left to posterity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Many studies have focused on the degree to which the prevalence, nature, and conduct of conflict has varied across time and space. This volume focuses not only on such operational considerations but on cognitive and experiential issues, analyzing how the Maya understood and explained conflict, what they recognized as conflict, how conflict was experienced by various groups, and the circumstances surrounding conflict. By offering an emic (internal and subjective) understanding alongside the more commonly researched etic (external and objective) perspective, contributors clarify insufficiencies and address lapses in data and analysis. They explore how the Maya defined themselves within the realm of warfare and examine the root causes and effects of intergroup conflict. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using case studies from a wide range of time periods, \u003ci\u003eSeeking Conflict in Mesoamerica\u003c\/i\u003e provides a basis for understanding hostilities and broadens the archaeological record for the \"seeking\" of conflict in a way that has been largely untouched by previous scholars. With broad theoretical reach beyond Mesoamerican archaeology, the book will have wide interdisciplinary appeal and will be important to ethnohistorians, art historians, ethnographers, epigraphers, and those interested in human conflict more broadly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors: \u003cbr\u003e Matthew Abtosway, Karen Bassie-Sweet, George J.
