Quetzalcoatl and Guadalupe: The Formation of Mexican National Consciousness, 1531-1813

by Jacques Lafaye

Book Overview

"In this study of complex beliefs in which Aztec religion and Spanish Catholicism blend, Lafaye demonstrates the importance of religious beliefs in the formation of the Mexican nation. Far from being of only parochial interest, this volume is of great value to any historian of religions concerned with problems of nativism and syncretism."-Franke J. Neumann, Religious Studies Review
