“Theoretically sophisticated, empirically rich, and sensitively written, Pilgrimage to Broken Mountain is one of the first great ethnographies of the twenty-first century—a brilliant masterpiece.”—James Maffie, University of Maryland“Compellingly detailed, Pilgrimage to Broken Mountain brings together an outstanding breadth of information to reveal the complexities of Nahua rituals petitioning rain and help us better understand not only Nahua costumbre but also many other Mesoamerican ritual practices.” —Adam W. Coon, University of Minnesota Morris  "Pilgrimage to Broken Mountain is a remarkable achievement, the fruit of decades of superb ethnographic work by two of the sharpest and most sensible anthropologists in the field. Alan and Pamela Sandstrom, together with ritual specialist Cirilo Téllez Hernández and the people of Amatlán take us on a transformative journey. At a time of pressing questions about the future of our planet, theirs is a powerful reminder of something we often forget—'respect for the things of this world.'"—Caterina Pizzigoni, Columbia University
